Great review, thanks!

FWIW, I have a VP100. I've been reasonably happy. However, it doesn't seem to compete with my M60's and I usually have to turn the center channel level trim up during movies so I can hear the dialog clearly (even after level matching with a SPL meter). I'm looking into using Axiom's Trade-up program to get myself a VP150 instead. With the trade it's only $199.00.
How do you like your QS4's? I currently have some pretty mediocre surrounds, and I've been thinking of eventually getting QS4's or 8's. I do listen to quite a bit of multi-channel music as well as movies.
I might end up going with the VP150 (I know I will be eventually upgrading to the m60's or 80's in time). It will probably be overkill with M3's. I'll shoot Axiom an email on their advice as well.
I have the QS4's in a 13ft *15ft room. They do an excellent job filling the room with lush, accurate surround effects. I love them
. The sound they provide is not easily localized either. Just like Clint said in the review, the QS4 are easy to drive. I can easily push those speakers on an entry level Denon 688. If you have a larger room and are running the M60's for the little price difference between the the 2 models go with the QS8's
.
BTW, I mounted the QS4 with the standard T-Bracket that comes with them.
