As far as THX speakers the M&K 150s are one of the best I have heard. The dialogue from the center channel was the clearest, which IMO is the most crucial element of a good HT. For THX speakers they actually sound pretty good for music as well.
I would not however use the M&K 150 sub. For close to the same price you can get MUCH better results for HT with a Earthquake Supernova.
The M&K 150s are my personal favorite THX speakers and I think the tri-pole surrounds work great as well. It all comes down to personal tastes so if you can, try and audition both in your home, that is the only place to make an informed decision that YOU will be happy with.
Try and use the same sub for both auditions though since the M&K 150 sub is weak it will give the overall presentation a less dynamic kick then the Atlantic sub.
If you are really into home theater though (and your neighbors are far away) then get yourself a Earthquake Supernova sub. The 15 kills but the 12 is good enough to knock your house off the foundation. Make sure it is the MKIV version though as the MKII has the amp at the bottom which is just a pain.
Good luck.
