Just a couple of things, I would also second the EP500 if you can afford it, however, I would not replace the Axiom Qs8 surrounds with bookshelf speakers, the qs8's are one of Axioms most famous speakers.

Also, if you order from the Factory Outlet you'll save 10%, it is found on the "Store" page.

You could use your existing bookshelfs for the rear channels for 6.1 or 7.1, but I'd never use them for the left/right surround channel, the Qs8's would be your best choice.
