Hi Mandrake,

I would suggest upgrading the subwoofer and go with the Epic 50 350 package for $200 more. The EP350 will do a much better job filling in the low end especially for home theatre (movies) as would the EP175. It will be much more satisfying. For the surround back speakers you can go with what you suggested in with the M3v2 (staying on budget). The M3 bookshelf speakers would work best as the surround back because they use the same 6.5" woofer and 1" tweeter as the M50's which would provide an excellent tonal match with your mains.

Cheers! \:\)
