The 600 is the envy of us Axiom owners. I have the 500 and was told that 98-99% of bass or LFE in movies and music falls within the specs of it. My sub volume is set at about one quarter and may be shattering the foundations.
Sub material is not localized so the back works.
IMO your in the QS8 range.

Chris, Bug is right regarding placement of the sub, rear corner should be perfectly fine.

My room is much bigger than yours, and my 500 rocks my world for HT and music. I also have 4 Qs8's and enjoy them very much, they do great for movies and music. With bookshelfs, if your not in the sweetspot, you won't get the same experience. Again, this is my opinion, others may vary.
Welcome.

I don't think anybody has ever regretted buying the EP500, I've never had the urge to upgrade to the 600, mainly because it's just so big, and the fact that the 500 does more than I ever thought a sub could do. You would not regret either choice.

Chris, another welcome(so far you don't sound so evil). If you're going to use more directional back surrounds, I'd suggest that you consider the M2s for a better match to the M80s(although not crucial for the back surrounds). However, the 2-3' distance for them that you mention isn't desirable; you don't want speakers, even QSs with wide dispersion, playing almost right into your ears. If possible arrange for at least 5' of listening room.
As to the 4306, it didn't really say that it prefers 6-8 ohm loads, it was just overly cautious Denon copywriters. The M80s are slightly above average in sensitivity and the 4306 should have more than enough maximum output(around 200 watts into 4 ohms)for your use.
-----------------------------------
Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Thanks for the reply. It's 3 feet to the wall, all I can get . I could, however, raise them 2 feet higher and point them at my listening position to get the 5'.
WRT to the 4306, I am going off the "Speaker Impedance" silkscreen on the back, which says 6-8 OHMS for the fronts.

I am this close: ---><--- to ordering. I decided on M80's, Vp150, 4 QS8, but am stuck on the sub. Keep the SVS +/2, or get the EP500 or EP600. Can't make up my mind!

I don't think there is a wrong choice here. A matter of "trials" maybe?
What color did you decide on for your Axioms?
