I agree,
Get the sub before the centre. As for the speakers, the M60s and a sub would be a great place to start. Have you priced out the
Factory Outlet? You get 10% off regular items, the majority of Axiomites on the forum bought from the FO.
In addition to that, your other option should be the M22 speakers and the EP500 sub (which I think you could squeeze into your budget for the first round). They will perform VERY well in your space, and you'll have the enjoyment of having high levels of play with bone crushing bass. If your setup is primarily home theatre, I would not hesitate to recommend the M22 EP500 combo. And if you're at all handy, you can
build your own stands for $50 or less.
