Jopster;
You have almost the same amount of room as I do, and I have exactly the system you are contemplating. I got M60's because I wanted kick-ass speakers to listen to music with, but I didn't feel that the size of my room justified bigger speakers than the VP100 and QS4's.
I would disagree with you on the sub issue, however. I just got a Hsu VTF-2, and it adds punch to the low end of music, but where it really shines is while watching movies...it really makes you feel as if you are part of the action. If you feel $499 is too much to spend, wait until the end of the month when Hsu releases the STF-2, which will be a lower cost alternative with almost the same performance.
I think you will be very happy with the system you are thnking about, for music as well as HT.
