I agree with the VP150/M22 setup, and QS8's... I pretty much have the exact same setup, run with the 2310. I am picky when it comes to centers as I cannot stand not being able to hear dialogue clearly. I sit about 14' back from the center channel and it sounds great to me.
I too am not sold on Audyssey, but I think I'll run it here shortly and fine tune with the good 'ol SPL meter. One thing I don't want for sure is the dynamic EQ or especially dynamic compression turned on, which it sometimes does.
