I have a few questions:

I am currently deciding on a speaker/receiver setup and I have a few questions. I am leaning towards a pair of M60s, 4 QS-80s and a VC-150--connected to a Pioneer Elite VSX-53TX.

Questions:

1. For the QS-80s, can someone explain the shelf limitation a bit more. I have a set of rosewood stands that are open underneath but do not have a hole in it or anything. Would that work? What could be used in general?

2. Does anyone have a suggestion on subwoofers in the $500 to $600 range? I am trying to choose between the Hsu VTF-2, the SVS 25-31PCI, or the Axiom EP350 (which is actually cheaper than the other two due to the HT discount).

3. Any general suggestions.

thanks for the info,

Bryan
