I recently got the exact same set up M22, VP100, QS4, and the EP175, and I am very happy with it. However after getting the axiom sub, one of my clients told me his son worked at Compusa and could get me a discount.

Since I already had a sub I was not really interested in getting the STF-2, until he told me about the discounts employees got. He made me an offer I could not refuse, I got the STF-2 at Compusa for only $ 194.50 tax included.

Now I have 2 subs and a decision to make, since I just got the system set up I have not even tried the STF-2 but I will in the next day or so.......I might just return the EP175 still under 30 days and use some of the savings an upgrade to the QS8 or VP150.

But for now I am just going to enjoy my new toys, since this is my first HT and I had not bought a new TV(a sony XBR still going strong after 20 yrs.) since getting married in 1984, man has it been that long.
