Here's my suggestion for your room now.

M60ti mains
VP150 center
QS8 surrounds
Hsu VTF-3 sub




I would agree with this also. In 5 - 7 years you're gonna want something new for the basement, not bring the LR speakers downstairs. Deal with what's good for you now. I had the M22's for a little bit and really liked them, but went with M60's because of HK's flexible x-overs and I wanted to listen to music w/o a sub. The wife may like the M22's better and you'd be more than happy. I also went with the SVS PB1 w/ ice white finish. It's pretty sweet. Some think it looks like a fridge, but I think it looks better than a big black box (or cylinder.) Performace keeps up with the looks. Good luck.
