hello clemmons
if you are using the M22's and VP150, i would go with the QS-8's for rears. Also, you might want to look into getting your speakers set up differently. I would suggest putting the M22's about 12 feet apart, and at listening level. the vp 150 should also be at listening level, directly in front of you. the QS 8's should be rear mounted.
as for wiring, since you are buying some REALLY good speakers here, i would recommend you go with Kimber Kable 4pr, at least! you can get it from Marc Hallam for about 2.20$ a foot at the audioshop in ottawa, or you can find a local dealer. it goes VERY well with the Axiom speaker line, and is well worth the money. cheap cable will really bring the quality of sound down. radio shack wire just doesn't cut it.
the Denon 2802 is a VERY good receiver. if you can afford it, i hear the 3802 is better.
good luck, and feel free to post back any further input, questions, or comments!
happy listening
you'll adore the m22's and vp 150
