A pair of M60's, a VP150, an EP500, and 2(adding a 3rd after I buy a new receiver) QS8's--that's the system everyone should own. I love them in every way, and my 8 year old Yamaha receiver with only 80 watts per channel has no trouble driving them. I can't wait to see what a new receiver will do to the sound. And as for bang for your buck, a good friend of mine whose a musician has an expensive Paradigm system that he swears sounds just like my Axioms which were half the cost.

Well, I've got 2 of them (1905 and 3803) and had an 1803. I have talked several friends into getting them and they are pleased.
Bulletproof, dependable, good performers. The manuals are a bit tough, but stop well short of being life-threatening. The on screen display is not going to get marks for "pretty", but it functions.
I also use Denon DVD players (2900 and 4800DVM).
I'm a happy Denon guy and will likely stay with them over time.

Just my two cents..I have a AVR-1804 and a DVD-2900.I agree what everyone says about the manuals and setting up part but I like the tinkering around part myself.If I had to buy another reciver it would be another Denon.

If you are going to add a 3rd QS8...then by all means go for 2 of them in the rear. If you do some extensive searching and reading on 7.1 vs 6.1 you will see that many pro's out there state that even though the rear surrounds are getting the same signal, that it still leands itself to a more immersive surround effect when 2 speakers are utilized over one. Just my $.02

My home theatre room is only 13 feet wide. I really think that having 2 rears would be overkill and not give me any better sound that just 1. They'd be only a couple feet apart.

I'm kind of with Bayne on this; I think the value of 7.1 over 6.1 would be highly dependent on the room.
Of course, I'm listening to 5.1 and am happy as a clam, so ...
