Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Good setup for 5-channel stereo/HT?

I have a budget of around $1200.00 US for an axiom system that would be in a fairly large living room (sorry no dimensions ATM) with a high ceiling. I listen to about 50%/50% music/HT. I LOVE 5-channel stereo and would be using this feature with all music. I’d like to set up the system for optimal 5 channel performance at my price point.

I'm planning on buying a SVS sub (25-31PCi) tuned for 22 Hz. The amp is a Denon AVR1603 (85 watts x 5 @ 8ohms).

I've pretty much decided to go for the VP150 center and the Qs8's but I was wondering if I should go with the M3ti’s with 6.5 drivers for some lower bass extension instead of the M22ti’s dual 5.25’s. I’d like to stay away from the towers for cost reasons.
