On AVS when they say satellite speaker, it seems to me they mean a vary small speaker, ala BOSE, ORB etc. and yes these small speakers will not sound as good as true bookshelf and floorstanding speakers like Axiom produces.

For a better matched system I would run M22/M60/M80s for the front mains and the exact same as a center if possible. If a horizontal center is required/desired then any of Axiom's center spekears will work great. I have the VP100 and 150 and there is little difference between them other than a slightly lower FR with the 150 and it also has the ability to playback a little louder for larger rooms. And to round it off the QS8s for surround channels.

Are you looking for a subwoofer as well? If so I would recommend the EP350 or higher from Axiom as the smaller subs just don't cut it for HT, IMO. They lack the driver size to really move some air for good LFE.

I am not sure, have you ever stated the room size this system will be going in?
