M22ti's with QS8's and a VP150 is a super sweet setup. Be sure to get a terrific sub, and you'll be all set.

The reviews of the new EP500 have been superlative across the board. Hsu's VTF-3 is also considered one of the best buy's in audio as well.

Good luck, and be sure to keep us up to date with your progress!

Can I tell you how jealous I am of all you people with basements? Grrrrr...
