I have the VP150 and M22s along with 4 QS8's and 1 EP350. I may add another EP350 if budget allows in the end. I'll certainly run the cable as well as the wires for resonance speakers to utilize all 9 channels eventually. Doing my best not to change my current speakers again. My currents are already upgrades from the smaller on wall package. I went with the Yamaha RX A3050 mostly because I have a confident familiarity with the brand, it got good reviews all around and I have a feeling with proper set up I will be happier. One thing I am working on is room set up and sound insulation. I've been reading a lot up on that and excited to hear any helpful advice. One question I have is I have seen some hang their QS8's on the wall and other hang off the ceiling and angled slightly downward. Any comments on that? What about acoustic panels versus movie posters? Love my posters but if it's a huge hindrance for sound I'd look at other options...


It all matters.....just not very much.
