It's been a long time since visiting Axiom, bought my HT set-up here about 3 years ago....anyway...Moving into a new home where I can put my entire home theater set-up (Marantz & Axiom) in a designated room. That said, I will now need a small, uncluttered system for my living room. it's a small room, probably will put a 37 in flat panel up on the wall and want to pair it with a minimalist set-up - nothing extravagant needed.

I've looked @ the Denon, Bose, and Sony 2.1 systems briefly, even looked at the Polk Audio I-Sonic, but was not overly impressed. I thought about the M2 in wall speakers from Axiom, but then I need a new a/v receiver, DVD,etc - looking for an all in one package and thought I would come here and ask...any suggestions?

how small?

You can wall mount some M2s on the wall, and get the new EP400 sub (VERY small sub with very deep response and power).

If you get an all in one package, you will be very disapointed. I would just put a little more effort into the reciever/dvd player, you'll be alot happier with the results.

I've been thinking a HTIB option probably will not work...I'll rethink this one...

The SVS SB12-Plus is also a good choice for a smaller sub. It is not ported though, its a sealed design.

I am also want to set up a home theatre system in the living room 400 sq ft. I am thinking Yamaha HTR6090 7.1 as receiver. Will M60, VP150, EP350, QS8 works? Do I need a bookself speaker or another QS? How different are axiom compare to jbl, polk audio speakers? I never purchase Axiom.
