I took the plunge today! It'll be my first HT system ever. Ordered the M22 fronts, VP150 center, QS8 surround. Going with the HSU VTF-2 for a sub. Onkyo SR600 receiver. Can't wait for it all to show up!
Now I just have to figure out how to get a little piece of the carpet up in the corner and run the wires through the basement...and then the hard part, getting them up through the walls to the wall mounted surrounds in the back.
