Hey everyone, first post here.

I am building a home theatre room, and I am now officially thoroughly confused as to what audio setup I should run. The room is smallish, 11.5' x 18' x 7.5', so about 1600 cubic feet. I am going to be re-using my Velodyne 10" sub but the rest of the system (5.1) will be Axiom. I am trying to keep the other 5 speakers in the $ 13 -1400 range. They will be used 90% of the time for TV/sports and movies... There will be some music, but not a whole lot.

Option 1:($1155)

M3 mains
VP100 centre
QS4 surrounds

Option 2:($1329)

M3 mains
VP150 centre
QS4 surrounds

Option 3: ($1315)

M22 mains
VP100 centre
QS4's

Option 4: ($1489)

M22 mains
VP150 centre
QS4's


The Axiom HT Wizard said I should use M3's with the VP150. The thing is, I am really worried about buying mains that are too small. I have done it before and don't want to do it again. The easy way out is to buy the M22's with VP150 but like most people I don't want to spend more money than I have to. I am also considering running the in wall versions for the front three speakers. Do they provide the same sound quality as the normal speakers?

Thank you for your time and any input is greatly appreciated.
