I have the Epic 60-350 system, except (a) didn't buy the package, just added speakers as budget permitted, and (b) purchased a larger sub than Axiom had at the time (SVS 20-39PC+) because I am moving into a house where the HT area will be about 5 times the size of your room. Probably would have gone with an EP500 (about the same price) if it had been out at the time.
I am very happy with the system and would buy the same again (other than curiosity
). There are better speakers out there, of course, but not for the $$.
I should mention that for your current needs a smaller system would probably work well for you.. HOWEVER if you start getting serious about "the home theater thing" I think the extra cost for the Epic 60 package would be money well spent.
If you are sitting 10 feet away the VP100 would probably be OK but you are on the edge between the 100 and the 150. I'm currently 7-8 feet away and the VP100 is more than enough.
