Adrian, Alan already commented on page 1 of this thread. Parin, I understand your concerns, just not sure I would say having floorstanding speakers would be considered clutter. I fully understand you wanting something that is up off the floor, I have kids to, but in my case, they don't mess with the speakers really.

The 22s (w22's) will most likely play plenty loud, even if you want to crank them up from time to time. They will even have decent bass, however, a larger cabinet like a floorstanding speaker provides helps with the low end. They can go much lower and produce better bass.

The sub will help a lot, but you may want to consider getting something like 2 350's, versus 1 500, to help even out bass throughout the room. I think the 350's are more musical than the DSP subs.
