I have 2 setups.

Bedroom:
M1's - mains
M0's - surrounds
VP50 - center
AR8 - sub (8in powered sub)

Living Room:
M3's - Mains
M2's - Center, Rear Center
QS4's - Surrounds
Currently building my sub.

I prefer the M2 as a center in my living room over the VP50 in my bedroom, although both sound very good. I think I would have been happy getting the VP150 for the living room, but I wanted to try the M2. Given the 30day trial, if I had been disappointed with the M2, I would have replaced it with a VP150.

As for a sub, if you get either the M3's or M22's, you could feasibly get by without a sub until you get a chance to audition some. I'm very impressed with my M3's running in large mode right now.

If you are going to buy a sub now, I can't comment on Axiom's subs, but have auditioned the Hsu VTF-2. I love it. A good friend of mine purchased it and uses it in a room similar in size to mine. I can't say enough good things about it. I simply don't have it in my budget to buy a sub, so I'm building one using some existing equipment (Onkyo 501 amp, MTX 4000 series 12in. sub) and will make a sonotube sub.
