How about M60 front, VP150 center, QS8 surrounds, and M2 rear surrounds?
That's the way I'd go in a room (and I'm assuming, a budget) that size.
Were I you, I'd give HSU a call (or at least fill out their
Product Recommendation and Support Form) about the correct sub for a room that size. I would wager Bren's woodchuck (inside joke - see
here) that they suggest the STF-3, or VTF-3, would serve you better in a room that size, but I've been known to wrong now and then
. They, like Axiom, SVS, av123, et. al., have very good customer service, and won't fool you into something you don't need. If the STF-2 will work for you, that's what they'll tell you. I, by the way, own and enjoy an STF-2 (11.5x18x8).
I will also echo BigJohn's caveat. I suspect that when you get that system cranked up, your interest in listening to music will be reborn. And, with the Yammy's capabilities, your curiosity will be piqued as to what it'll do with SACD and/or DVD-A
Enjoy.
