I think I would downgrade to the 500, and get another five Axioms to create a 5.1 system for my brother and his family in Amherst, Mass. Only if I knew they would use it...they watch TV with the volume very low.

If that doesn'w work out, then I would replace my other brother's and sister-in-law's little 5.1 Klipsch setup.....I know they will use it.
