Thanks! I was thinking of getting the EP500 sub...is this too much with the m60's? dont want to get more than i need too.
Also...the sofa is midway in this room. There will be pool table/ping table behind it. If i did a 7.1 should I keep all speakers around the sofa or should i place some at the end of the room near the pool table?

"To Much"? If your talking budget, I have no idea. I assume your talking bass in the room? The sub handles the real lowwww freq's, so you will adjust the crossover in your receiver to re-route those lowwww freq's, usually 80hz and below, to the sub for all speakers in the room. First you need to get your speakers, then we move on to the setup and calibration and positioning. The Axiom surrounds are very forgiving on placement due to their 4 driver design. The side surrounds go to the side or slightly behind a parrallel line where the listeners sit. The rears might be able to be mounted along the back wall, depending on how far back that will be, or suspended from the ceiling, but that might be to high.. The Q's come with a T bracket that allow a flush mount on a wall. Or, some people opt for a bookshelf or W series speaker for the rear channel for multi channel music listening. I think the Q's do good for both music and movies.

I have the M60s and an EP500. They sound fabulous together. Remember, a sub is only as loud as you turn the dial to be. When it is calibrated nicely, it blends perfectly with the M60s and let me tell you, although it can produce beautifully subtle bass in music, it can equally pump out some serious vibes when required.

If i did a 7.1 should I keep all speakers around the sofa or should i place some at the end of the room near the pool table? I would be inclined to go 7.1 with QS8's on the side and get W22/M22 for the rear since you want music while playing pool. Depending on your receiver you could probably switch the use of the rear channel to 7.1 or zone 2. Meaning go into the menu change from 7.1 to zone 2 when listening to music so you have the M60's in front playing and then the zone 2 W22 by the pool table play the same music as well...

For a room of your size I would go with 2 Ep600s, the subs get calibrated so they won't over power the mains

Here's a pic of my in-laws system that I helped piece together. Standard ceiling height. I don't recall room dimensions but the table should give you a reference. We use a Hsu VTF3 and it BOOMS. Very cool to watch sports while playing pool. The front speakers flank a 58" Panasonic, FYI.

Thanks. Setting up that room made me jealous w/ my 3 yr old equipment, including my ED plasma. (This panny is 1080p). Suffice to say the drop in the market last year put an end to those upgrade dreams...
