The way my living room is configured it would not be possible to place the speakers 2' away from the walls - they will have to placed either next to the sofa or slightly behind but 2' is not possible

The room is on the smallish side - as I said it's a living room in an apt - it's appx 1600 cubic feet - 16'Lx13"Wx7'8"H

So - I was thinking of something along these lines for the speakers

Pair Millennia M3 Bookshelves
Pair QS4 Surrounds
VP100 Center

For the sub I was thoinking of the Epik Legend

If you're going to place the QSs on stands, they should be spread as widely as possible, since they're side surrounds, probably almost up against the side walls. Since there won't be any 7.1 back speakers, it's a good idea to position the side surrounds a little bit(maybe 2')farther back than directly to the side of your listening position, to lend a little "phantom" back imaging.
