Thanks much for the replys, guys. I am going to match the speaker setup with either a Denon 3805 or a Yamaha 2600, so I will have plenty of power to fill the room. At this point, and only over the last couple of days, I'm coming to the conclusion that I'll try to fit the EP500 and step down to the high-powered compact sub if that doesn't fit.

Surround wise, I'd rather go with the QS8s, but I probably have to compromise on estetics (and sound) and go with the in-walls.

I'm ordering this week, so I'll be back with more questions around setup time, and be a lurking sponge until then.
