Rick, tell us your room dimensions (LxWxH) and will this be for mostly HT, or music or 60-40 HT, etc. It will help with some suggestions.
You can always do things as budget allows instead of all at one time and possibly getting something a bit small for your space. I started with just M22's and QS8's, then added a sub when I got more $$ and am now still 4.1 and waiting for my VP150 to float to the top of the priority list.
So far, a family trip to San Diego and full bathroom renovation has priority over my VP150.
