Hi Kathleen. Welcome to the forum.

As I read through the thread, I was formulating my thoughts, and had a pretty good idea of what I was gonna say. But, then doggone Tom went ahead and said it all first. \:\( ;\) His advice, IMHO, was impeccable, particularly:

"Don't feel obligated to get a VP150 in that size room"

"I would definitely start with mains+sub, especially if you watch a fair number of movies."

"...the EP350 is worth the extra money. The wide openings you have into other rooms would probably warrant the upgrade."

"...I'd rather have the QS8/VP100 than QS4 and VP150, especially in that size room."

"Don't let these guys try to talk you into an expensive receiver. Just get the features you think you need/want."

HEY! Thanks Tom. It was much easier to copy and paste than to type it myself.
