OH, you guys are bad lol! Thanks for all the welcomes and suggestions though!
This setup will definitely be staying in my office....no matter how big it gets lol! The wife just doesn't want all that stuff out in the main living room. We also have a 2yr. old that likes pushing buttons, so I don't much disagree with her on that. Maybe when we get a bigger place in a couple years. Good news is, the office is my territory and I can do whatever I like with it!
Now that you guys mention it, getting an M2 or M22 or pair, may be the way to go. Since I really don't plan on getting a bigger monitor, I have plenty of space for virtually any center array I would want to go with. Another set of M22's wouldn't be that much more than a VP150 anyway. I would only be able to use 1 of them off the bat, but my next receiver will have pre outs on it, so both would eventually get used. May be overkill, but more often than not, I have a hard time hearing dialogue in movies.
There really isn't a big price difference between the QS8's and the 4's, but I don't know if it's really worth it at the moment. I'm already pushing a lot of sound into a little space.
Same goes for the front if I really think about it. The main reason I'm going for the M22's is to see if I can stick w/ them, or upgrade to towers w/out being blown out of my office chair.
The kid in me is saying buy the biggest speakers you can get! The older guy in me that has lost a good bit of hearing from going to too many rock concerts is saying take the reasonable approach.
I'm going to try to fit the speakers to the room w/ a little to grow on. Once I get all that into place, I'll sit down and think of how I want or need to push them. Receivers and amps are a lot easier to do than speakers. They come out with new models every year!

From your post about getting “…another set of M22’s…” I’m not sure if you know that Axiom sells single speakers, so you don’t have to buy them in pairs. So if you don’t want to have an extra speakers sitting around doing nothing for awhile you don’t have to, and can always pick up another later.
As a general rule It’s good to buy the best speakers you can afford. It sounds like for the speakers you’re considering money isn’t the issue. If that’s the case and based on your saying you could use any center speaker I’d amend my recommendation to getting 3 x M22s and 2 x QS8s. Should you choose to keep them when you move to a house these would integrate better into a larger room. Keep in mind it’s best to use the same three speakers for L/C/R and since you can I would highly recommend it.
