Thanks, dmn23 and Randy. I will buy a 8x10FT Rug for my living room. Hope that it helps. I am thinking to move the sofa a little bit close to the TV, then put the two QS8s on the back.

Thanks again,

Alan from Axiom has mentioned that a nice throw/area rug helps a lot, along with furniture and wall coverings.

My plan is to purchase the M60 and VP100 first, then QS8s and Sub.

Han, don't forget that the fine folks from Axiom will give you an additional 5% off of your purchase if you buy 5 or more items (i.e. 2 mains, 2 surrounds + 1 center) at one time.

5% *may* not seem much but if you decide to go with the 10% off for Factory Outlet and an addition 5% for the purchase of 5 items (or more), that 15% total discount *might* be a deciding factor between the VP100 and the VP150!

But don't me influence you in any way.

Hi, Rick: thanks for the money saving tip. I talked to Brent from Axion audio. He told me that 98% of the time the outlet product are defect free, but i always worry a little bit.What's your experience?

Han, I've only bought one item from the factory outlet, an EP600 sub and that was just this past week so therefore I haven't received it as of yet but I'm not in the least concerned. Research the boards regarding other folks experiences with the factory outlet merchandise and I believe you'll find that most everybody never do find the first flaw.
I'll be ordering a VP150 from the factory outlet store soon and as with the sub, I will not have any worries whatsoever!

Ditto what Rick just said. My M22s are the only items I didn't buy through the outlet, and I still can't find a problem with my VP150, QS4s or EP175.

The same goes for my M80s, I never have found what was supposed to be the flaw.

Thank you all for the reponses! I have one last question before i place my order: Is the VP150 overkill for my living room compared to VP100?

Thanks,

You are sitting quite a distance back from the center channel (a bit less than 16 feet) so I would look hard at the VP150. The VP100 would be fine in the same room if you were sitting closer, say with a walkway behind the sofa...

I've had my Axiom setup for nearly a year and have as yet not found a single defect. I can only imagine what their A-stock looks like! I would seriously consider the VP150 with that setup. I think it would integrate better with the rest of your setup and give you a wider "soundstage" as they say.
