I could hear both of the 2.5s putting out music from wherever I was sitting in the living room, but with the Q2s you had to be in the sweet spot or close to it to hear both speakers output, otherwise it sounded as if the speaker closest to you was the only one playing. Guess the Q2s are a bit beamy / directional.

I have done a large amount of experimenting and found that my QLS sound best pointing right at me. Most other speakers I've had sounded best flat with the back wall or slightly toed in but not these QLS. You might try them a little closer together, that also helped mine.I must clarify that I almost always have my speakers facing directly out from the wall which is usually 2 to 3 feet behind them. I rarely toe-in any of my speakers.
As soon as I get a foot or two on the right side of the right speaker (or the left side of the left speaker) I cannot hear any output from the speaker farthest away, it sounds as if all the music only comes from the speaker I'm closest to. With the 2.5s I can hear both speaker's output clearly when I'm far to the left or right. Kinda weird and wish I could fix it with the Q2s.

I could see non mirrored speakers giving this effect on one side but not on both. My QLS have a great, even sound when moving left to right, the only complaint I have is when I stand up and lose the sound from the mid bass. Room treatments really improved the sound, but I installed them before I had the QLS-1.
