Hi,
I need some help setting up a my new system and deciding which speakers setup to buy:

My HT room have 1000 cubi feet and I was planing for this system :
6.1 configuration

After reading some reviews I decided for this setup
1 Axiom VP150 Center
3 Axiom QS4 Surround
and 2 Axiom M22ti Fronts

I already got a Infinity sub and a Denon 3805 and 50" Panasonic plasma.

Thanks
Benny

Any suggestion will be very helpfull.
 
You are not clear on what advise you are seeking. You alreadt purchased your equipment so......

.....Benignoh, bravo, you've chosen good equipment....set it up and get to cranking....try to set up the front soundstage in one end of a room that is free of door openings if possible, ie, the end of the room is solid....you can always find a place for rear speakers, but the front soundstage should be solid without openings.....
 
Axiom speakers

I think that Axiom bookshelf setup is a good option. I am looking to upgrade to something similar. Concerning number of channels, you are better off starting with a good 5.1 setup, then upgrading later to 7.1 if necessary.

I think that the M22ti's will do fine in your room. You might be able to get away with the smaller center, VP100. For the surrounds, I would upgrade to 2 of the QS8s. They have the same driver as the mains and will be a better tonal match. For 7.1, add two more QS8s or a pair of M2is for the rear surrounds.

Don't forget the subwoofer. SVS and HSU have some good 10" subs for $400 and up. For over $1K, the Axiom EP500 is nice, too.
 
I still havent purchase any speakers I just wanted to know what you think of this speaker configuation or any better set that I could purchase for the same same budget.
Just want to see some ideas!
thanks
Benny
