I would still go with M60s then a sub, the impact for movies is better, but going for the QS's is a very close call. You will have the money for the surrounds before you will be able to get the sub, so the QS's from an economical point of view is better, you will get to start enjoying movies in 4.0 much sooner, tough call.

I'm a bass fanatic as well and would put a sub second in line after the mains. Which you choose would depend on whether you prefer the immersive sound created by surrounds or the resounding boom that comes from a good sub.

I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't find it. So...
When ordering speakers for a new setup (50/50 HT/music) in stages (over several months), what order would you order in? This is my guess:
1. mains
2. sub
3. surrounds
4. center
However, when considering the cost of a sub is almost the same as the center and surrounds combined maybe:
1. mains
2. surrounds and center
3. sub
Any comments on what provides the most improvement for money spent? If the mains are large, bump the sub after the surrounds. If you are more movie than music, do the same. Centre last, followed by rear surrounds of course..

Kyle, all these people are hugely negligent and I wouldn't listen to any of them. Namely, no one asked what types of music or movies you enjoy. Movies are probably more telling: If you like "Love, Actually..." and "The Notebook", go for Mains, Center, Surrounds and Sub. If you like "T3" and "Ironman", go for Mains, Sub, Surrounds and Center. If you like Multichannel music, go Mains, Surrounds, Center and Sub. If you like Classical Music, go Mains, Sub, Surrounds and Center. If you like Regina Spektor, ask CV. If you like Rush, ask JP.

If you like Regina Spektor, ask CV. Hey, no one else gets to like her. I'll freak out.

Not that this will matter, I have M80s, and next in line are the QS8s, then the centre and sub (I am in an appartment now, so the sub is last on my priority list)
Regardless, when ordering towers, I would recommend going with QS8s next, the towers will provide enough bass, but a sub will provide no surround sound will it?

"If you like Rush, ask JP?... "
I have ~24 Rush CDs... Is JP a bigger Rush Lunatic than that? If so, I may finally have found my match!
