JohnK, it took me a while to do the actual buy. I put in an order for the following 30 minutes back :
- a pair of M80s
- two pairs of QS8s (sides, surrounds)
- a VP150
- EP500

As you all were kind enough to evaluate, this was for my media room that measures 14' X 16' X 9'. I was initially leaning towards M60, however, J.C. at Axiom customer service, persuaded me towards the M80s.

I decided to forego the home test for the AV123 Rocket RS-750(and an appropriate package); they did seem like good speakers, however, if I needed to return them, it would cost me 2X shipping

I might order Aperion's tower speaker (Intimus 522-PT) with their bookshelves to round over a 7.1 configuration and B&W 602.3s to do a home comparison. If I do, I'll post my (subjective) opinions, if y'all would like that.

Appreciate your help VERY much guys. Honestly, this is a great forum.
