Very nice looking space. I've been thinking about the Onk 808 as well. Although it is a 7.2 channel receiver, it has Dolby PLIIz processing which means that 2 of those channels could be front effect channels.

I think that's what I would do. If you have 2 ceiling speakers in the front it would be interesting to hear your system configured so that the ceiling speakers were your L/R effect speakers over your proposed M22 rather than using the back surrounds.

I'm thinking the the M60's for fronts, the QS8 for rears and the VP150 v3 for the front.

I'm also getting the new Onkyo TX-NR808 receiver, which is a 7.2 receiver.

My house already has JBL SP6CSII in the ceiling (hey the came with the house). I figure I'll use those for me second set of rear speakers.

I have 2 openings on either side of my in-wall entertainment center that are 22" wide x 16" tall x 16" deep. I figured those are perfect places for a set of small but punchy subs.

Now I know a lot of people here opt for subs other than the Axioms. I don't want to spend a ton of money, but I thought something like the Definitive Technology ProSub 800 or the Infinity PS212 would be perfect. Are 2 decent subs better than one expensive subs for a 7.2 system?

Any and all advice is welcome, as I know most of you enjoy setting up dream systems as much as I do.

thanks!
