My room is 17x22 with 13 foot ceilings. I recently upgraded to the HK 7200, VP150, M60's, QS8 surrounds, kept my M&K sub. I also looked at the NAD and the Yamaha-2400, but the HK gave the most bang for the buck (paid $800.00 listed for $1900.00) made the choice easier. I have had my system for approximately 6 weeks and thus far I am very pleased, the axiom ensemble sounds great and the M60's play loud and clear. As far as the receiver the only negative thing is the physical size it's a monster and generates a fair amount of heat,so you'll want to make sure that your audio rack can accomodate the larg size and heat generation. I have to admit at first I wasn't crazy about the sound, but as I tweeked and continue to do so, the sound seems to get better and better. I previously had an older Yamaha RX-V890 with Boston Acoustic Speakers. The HK/Axiom marriage provides a more natural sound stage for stereo and the home theater aspect sounds great too.
