I placed my first order. 2 m80s, 1 vp150, 2, qs8s. Went with Boston Cherry. Can't wait to hear them. This will be the first set of decent speakers I've ever owned.

Good luck with the wait. I think you'll be fine for awhile with the 80s set to large until you get up to a sub.
Get your demo movies all picked out in the meantime.

Congratulations. That's a very nice first order. I started out with just a pair of M80s.

I'll be sure to post pics, but unfortunately pics won't come for more than a month (house doesn't close until June 15th). I'll likely need to order a couple wall-mount bracket things for the QS8s before I get into the place. I may be able to post a first impression prior to the closing of my house, though, because I'll be looking to try them out ASAP. Is 12AWG preferred for speaker cable?

12 or 14 gauge should be all you need, Monoprice.com has good quality/inexpensive wiring which makes 12 gauge easier/cheaper to buy. The Qs8's come with a wall mount 'T' bracket which allows for flush mounting.
