Agreed. For HT good mains plus good sub can give you 90% of the "impact". Center and surrounds definitely help but I ran with just mains + sub for quite a while and was real happy.

With your new room you need to move maybe 150% more air to get the same "punch" you had in your old room. The M60s are just not going to be able to move enough air on their own for happy HT in a room that size, you really need a good sub. Don't be frightened, but your room is in the range where people here will start suggesting you get TWO subs if you give them half a chance.

M80s would be a bit better than M60s in that room on their own but for HT you will get far more improvement from a sub. Go with the big honkin' sub.
