Here is what I intend to get, please let me know if anyone has any advice.
Receiver: Dennon 3802
Center: VP150
Front: M80ti
Rear/Surround: QS4's
My room is 22x14 with 8 foot ceilings.

looks good EXCEPT get the QS8's.
is the Denon 3802 6.1 or 7.1?
in that case, get extra QS8's to use the receiver to its fullest.

WOW! 7.1!!!
I would buy M80 front
VP150 Center
and 4 QS8's (not QS4's. the QS8's have the better tweeter).
For sub, what are you thinking?
i suggest SVS 20-39 PCi (i think that's the model... it's the powered one with a BASH amp.)

I agree with Ravi, go for the QS8's for rear surronds you can also go with another pair of QS8's but I found that that 2 VP 150's worked better for the rear surronds then a second pair of QS8's

How do you mount the 150's as your rear?

Yes, I am going with the SVS but I am not sure, caught between the 25-31 pci and the 16-46 pci.

Red, we have just about the same set up, room, equipment, etc.. Go with QS8's, As you already have the best of the rest, why short change yourself on the surrounds ?
As for the rears, go with another set of QS8's.. Think about it.. If you were the one sitting in the back of your theater room (didn't arrive in time to score one of the sweet spot seats), would you want those rear effects coming right at the back of your head ? No way.. With the Eights, you get the same 'rear' effect, without the sound becoming too directional, eh..
Believe me, I went round and round on this one myself.. A pair of VP100's, or one VP150, etc.. Just too much trouble.. So much easier to hang a couple Eights and forgettaboutit :>
Besides, it's a win win dude.. You get really great speakers, for both music and movies, and in my opinon, they look much better on the side and back walls then than the VP series.. Blend with windows, pictures, etc.. Look more Movie Theater like, know what I mean ?
LFE ! The rest is just details..

I made custom mounts for the VP that hang from the ceiling, if you would like to see a picture of the setup let me know I will send it to you.
