A couple of things about my future system. First, my HT room is going to be very small (11 X 14 X 7.5, a little over 1000 cubic feet). Second, my budget for the speakers is about $2000.
Having said that, I've settled on the VP100 for the center, the QS4 for the surrounds, and the EP350 for the sub. I can't decide which speakers to use for the front channels...the M2 or their larger sister the M22?
Will the M22 be too much speaker for this space? I'm definitely leaning towards the M22 because of the reviews I keep reading about the quality of this speaker (not to say that the M2 is bad, but I think that the M22 will take the experience to the next level).
Also, I'm planning on purchasing the Denon AVR-970 (1910) 7.1 Receiver. Any thoughts on this? Is this price range of receiver (~$500) appropriate for this speaker setup, or should I be looking for something more?
You've made some good decisions and gotten some good advice already. You are on the right track for that size room with QS4s. Also the M2 or M22 is your best choice of front speaker to integrate with a sub. The Denon you have selected will drive the speakers just fine.
From my personal viewpoint I would go with the M22s and an M2 center if it fits. The 350 is a little pricy for it's spec level and you might consider SVS, HSU alternatives to help reach your budget overall.
