I have decided to go with Axiom over the 123AV and I plan on getting a pair of M60 the VP150 center and I am still deciding on what the best surround speaker would be.

My room is ony 10 x 19 x 8. So what would match best, QS8's, M22, or go with the M3's. I currently have a 7.1 infinity setup which is needs of an upgrade and do not think I need to go 7.1 in this room do to the size and I never really noticed any difference so I am wanted to put that extra money that I would on four speaker and combine it into two.

Any suggesstions would be great.

The QS8s are probably the best surround speaker on the market (IMHO). They actually make you feel like you have 7.1 with a 5.1 setup. QS8s hands down.

QS8's

The Q's are much better for surrounds than direct radiating speakers (bookshelf). Whether you go 7.1 has a lot to do with where your sitting in respect to the other speakers. You say you don't notice much difference, does your receiver do PLIIx processing, that makes a huge difference.

If you decide to go with just 5.1, make sure you place the Q's in a position so the rear tweeter is bouncing off the back wall to give you that 7.1 feeling.

Another vote for either of the QS models.

QS8s blew my HK front radiating speakers away by a factor of 11. Another vote for the QS line.

Another vote for the QS series. I had the QS8s in a similarly sized room (11.5 x 18 x 8), and loved them.

I think the only justifiable reason for possibly NOT getting the QS8's would be if you planned to run DVDA/SACD almost exclusively and were going with 5 identical speakers.

Another vote for QS. They literally envelop you in sound.

They're so good, you had them?
