Thanks for the clarity guys, found similar opinions when I figured out a decent search method.

So I got my kit yesterday, M60/VP150/QS8. This replaces my M60/VP100/M2 setup. Went from a Marantz 4500 to a Pioneer VSX-01THX as well. Sticking with a HSU-VTF3, so far so good! Love the sound, much better surround performance with the QS8 over the M2, but it could be the receiver. Overall I'm glad I spent the extra and stuck with the M60s.

Now I just need to get something to listen too! My HTPC with all my music was taken. All I have is NHL09 on PS3, which is nice...but crowd noise gets old!
