Thanks for the welcome! I don't really have a set budget in mind as of yet. Axiom's layaway plan will allow me to buy a little more speaker than I normally would, since I won't have to come up will all the cash all at once.

I was thinking of building a little bit at a time. Starting off with the M22's and auditioning them. If I'm digging them, paying them off and getting the surrounds and center next.

I do eventually plan on upgrading my receiver to higher model Onkyo w/ pre outs and stepping up to a 7.1 or 7.2 channel setup and getting towers for the front and either move the M22's to another room or to the back to finish the rear surrounds.
