Thanks again, Ron.Thanks for your opinions. I woke up at 3:30am and came to the same conclusion. I performed an A/B comparison with the XQ5 vs Q5 using various music sources. The XQ5 did have a better sound stage and more detail, but the Q5 weren't that bad overall. The majority of the time I listen to the local jazz station or cd's in 6 channel stereo and only spend 5% of the time actually listening to stereo. I don't think it will make a difference which speaker system I use when it comes to movies and the Q series sounded fine in that respect.

So tonight I'll pack the speakers. Since I purchased them on-line I will have to absorb the shipping fees for both directions but it is better than being unhappy.

Thanks again, Ron.
