"Has anyone used speaker stands other than the $190/pair ones from axiom?"
Yes, I spent $40 on my simple but more than do the job stands I bought at a local audio shop. Just a 10X10 base and 6X6 top with two pieces os particle board running parallel between. Works just fine for me. Then again I don't need sexy stands...

I think others are trying to say, and I agree, that you should "Buy the best mains you can afford". Every other speaker/sub complements the mains.

Okay. I am hearing loud and clear. So, it would appear my system should look like this- as recommended.
2x M22's $440
2x QS8's $500
1x VP150 $385
or around $1325 before subwoofer.
At 13 lbs, however. How do people mount the QS8's on the wall if there is no 2x4 to support it? Along my back walls (http://www.freewebs.com/epchristi/LIVING_ROOM2.jpg) there are no 2x4 stud supports where the speaker needs to be centered. Have others encountered that?
I think I am almost ready to go with the system as described and appreciate everyone's help.
I am considering the HSU sub woofers that were recommended.

We had the same situation with our QS8's, so we used toggle bolts for mounting the speakers. Medium to large size, they work great.
I guess I should also say that we used the FMB's to mount the QS8's. So we used two toggle bolts for each speaker mount.

Good system.
I used simple plastic drywall expander screws with no problem with T bracket that comes with the QS8s.

I have that setup plus the EP350. It gets LOUD while staying crystal clear. I've also auditioned SVS and Hsu subs and they both will rock you like the proverbial hurricane.
