I guess that's me!
I have QS8's with classic 170's for mains. They blend extremely well and are truly outstanding effects speakers. I recently played the "Echo game" sequence from House of Flying Daggers", where the beans are ricocheting from drum to drum and splattering on the floor all around. Awesome! I don't do much multichannel music, but I think they would do fine.
Well.........there's one opinion!
