The Axiom M60s sound almost identical to the B&W 703s. (and blow the 600 series away). Do an audition of the 703s and see if the M60s, at 1/3 the cost of the 703s interest you. Also, the B&W and Axiom centers I can't speak to, but B&W has NOTHING that approaches the Axiom QS8s (which you might want instead of the M2i).
A package of 2-M60s, 1-VP150 and 2-QS8s plus a $500-$600 sub should come in around $2000 US. I don't know how that translates to Canadian, but it's a pretty spectacular price/value package.
