I believe the 7.1 is a go. I guess we will adjust the budget accordingly. What do you think about the side speakers? Did you mean that all the surround sound speakers should be M2's or would the QS8's work better for the sides (not the rear), or not a big difference? Please feel free to tell me what you think will work best for the room (I know you only have the pictures to go on). Budget is a concern, but over all performance will be first in thought. I figured it would be best to start there. It is all sounding great though. I can't wait to post pics of the final setup along with review (if you all are interested). Axiom is a great company. Thanks for all the assistants! I haven't even purchased anything yet and the customer service has been excellent.
