In reply to:

what about the sub and the surrounds ?? are they adequate ? i read lot of stuff on SVS........how do they compare with the EP 600?




I have no experience with Axiom subs but I have owned SVS and HSU and I'm currently running a HSU. Either of them are great sub manufactures that offer subs that will do everything you could ever want them to do.

As for surrounds, figure out what you want for mains first and then go from there. The QS8's would be a good choice or you can also go with a full range speaker. It all depends on you.
