Why are you scared? They are said to sound as good as the M22s and the M22s are an excellent speaker.

Although I've not listened to the W22, it is supposed to be an acustic equivelent of the M22; which have great clarity and detail and the ability to play very loud in a room the size you describe. Combined with the EP 500 they should provide very good sound for both music and movies.

Thanks guys, that helps. Have another Q? What if I did 3 W150's in the front vs 2-w22 and 1-w150. Would that be an aprreciable upgrade or a waste of $.

I believe there is a setup like that somewhere in FL. It certainly looks impressive, but some sacrifices were made for aesthetics (mainly mounting all speakers near the ceiling and horizontally. I know that Alan and Ian have tested VP150s in vertical configuration and were pleased with the result. I don't know how much of an upgrade over W22s that would be.

Any particular reason you're concerned?

I doubt if using 3 W150s vs W22s& W150 would provide a significant audio anvantage if any. To me it wouldn't make sense in performance per $$$$.

Wahoo! I just pulled the trigger on the Epic GM 500 in/on wall system. Ordered in the Gloss Cherry w/black grills and wall mounts for QS8's. The balance of the system will be Pio Elite VSX-92TXH recvr, Pio 6010 Plasma, Pio 95FD Blue Ray. Thanks so much for all of the advice and hand holding, you guys rock as do the Axiom bunch. The wait begins.........

Gratz and enjoy!

You're going to have a nice system there, congrats on the speakers.
