@Murph - that is very sound advice, because if we're not having fun, then what the heck are we doing?! I really appreciate your perspective and agree 100%.
The more I look at it, the more I think the M60's and a great sub would be a good start, as opposed to getting the M80's alone for now.
@Tomtuttle - I probably couldn't afford the VTF-3 right now. What about the VTF-2 MK3 / M60 combo? More in my price range.
Here's a schematic on my theatre area.

Hope this helps you get a better idea of my situation.
Also, as I'm looking at bang-for-buck vs. long-term satisfaction, I keep bouncing back-n-forth between this discussion, and getting a complete xSeries 5.1 set up for the price of 2 M60's and a sub here. Since I haven't heard ANY of these speakers yet, AV123 or Axiom, and I can't really test them out, could somebody tell my
just how much better is the setup we're discussing here in comparison to getting:
X-MTM (pair)
X-LS (pair)
X-CS
and a HSU sub

Because, for the M60's and the HSU VTF-2 MK3 Sub, I'm looking at about $1400 as well, but without the surrounds and center.
I'm pretty sure even my noobie mind is right in thinking the Axiom M60 is better than the xSeries MTM's, but I'm wondering is a night and day type of difference? Or is it a minimal difference?
Thanks for putting up with my indecisiveness and possibly, my total ignorance here.
