Depending on what you want to do there are lots of different configurations that will give you great sound for much less, espicaly since you are concerned with to much bass living in an apartment.
Couple possibities
m2 center, m60 or even 80 mains, qs8 sides, m2 backs or no backs
7 x m2s with a reasonable for your situation sub
5 x m2s m22 mains with a reasonable for your situation sub
7 x m3s might get away without a sub, i dont mind listening to mine without one but it does add to the sound when I turn it on.
3 m2s or m3s with qs8 sides with or with out sub
Or switch any of the above mains to m2 based setups to use m22 mains and or center
