I am ready to buy M60's and want to know which center and surrounds I need for a 13' 6" X 15' 9" room? I also need a suggestion for a sub? I also need a answer about which speaker wire I need and which gauge? Also, am I making the correct choice with axioms vs klipsh?

OK, Christopher. Posting the same thing in different forums multiple times is not endearing.

Call Axiom about what center and surrounds they recommend. They're very good about this, and generally do not oversell. I would probably go with the VP100 and QS4s in a room that size.

Reading through previous responses to your queries about Axiom vs. Klipsh, I would say that the Axioms are far superior to the Klipshes, although I have not heard either model in question.

12 gauge speaker wire should fit the bill.

A Hsu STF-2 or SVS PB1 should cover you as far a subs go. It's a fairly small space, so I doubt that you would need more than that.

Christopher, I have a 17ft x 12ft room with M60's, VP150, QS8's and an HSU VTF-3 Mk2, running off of a Denon 3803. I also plan to add a pair of M2's in the rear for 7.1 I love my setup for this size of room. Sure I have the volume on the sub set really low, but I really didn't want to be second guessing myself with any of the equipment in terms of if I had bought 'enough. I don't believe you can ever have too much. I typically listen at around -20 to -15 on my receiver with no distortion worries and good, clean, loud sound.
P.S. What is your budget situation?
