M3's will do you just fine. Budget not an issue, m80's. Your Denon will work great. Your neighbors may not think so though By the way, welcome to the forum

deathjester, I have m3's and m80's. I can't answer about the m22's but they do go as low as the m3's graph wise. The m3's have a boost at 100hz so I've read. All I know is that they have good bass in my rooms. I think either center would work fine but it may depend on how far you sit away from the speakers. The m22's may work fine with a phantom center and save you some money. Keep asking questions so the others can chime in and help you out.

I think you'd probably want either M3s or one of the towers without a sub, but I kind of like bass. You would also be fine with the VP100. BTW, I live in an apartment as well, although I only have a (very tolerant/deaf) neighbor above mine, and I use M80s and an EP350. As long as you keep the volume at a reasonable level, it should be fine.

What Ken said, more or less.
VP100 is a very fine center channel speaker.

I have found the M22's to sound really great however they are configured. They really come to life with a good sub to round out the lower end (like any bookshelf), but I ran mine for a few months without a sub and was very pleased with them.
