Hi everyone, I am looking into my first home theater setup, and have some questions. Any and all information is greatly appreciated.

First some information My room size is 21' x 10' by 8'

70% will be used to watch movies 10% will be watching TV, 5% music, 5% gaming

I am currently looking into speakers and a reciever to match them.

Question 1.) Being that I have a small room is putting in a 7.1 system wise? Meaning from my reading being that thier is limited movies that utilize 7.1 and because of my room size I won't notice any difference.

Question 2)Is thier a big difference between Axioms bookshelves vs thier surrounds for the surround speakers? Also for the QS4 and QS8 is speaker placement different than with regular bookshelves?

Question 3)I am looking into a new reciever as well, I am currently looking for one in the $800 to $1500 price range and have been recommended the Pioneer Elite VSX-84TXSi

Question 4)To be honest I am comparing the Axiom speakers and the HTD speaker primarily because I have had the opportunity to listen to thier fronts and loved them but disliked thier center and never heard thier rears.

So with the Axioms how would this system look for my space?

VP100 Center
M22 Bookshelves Pair
QS8 Surrounds Pair

Thanks
Chris
