Cruncher, welcome. Great to hear how you're enjoying your new VP160. As far as setup tips, there's really not too much that can be said. If you're using the Axiom stand, it's set up directly below the screen, and there's not really room for variance.

What are your main speakers? The VP160 and QS8s don't have any unusual requirements as to amplification, nor do the other Axioms. For a new receiver I'd suggest that you consider the Onkyo and Denon units which fit your budget.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
