I have heard that having a good sub is more important than surrounds (or good surrounds).

So, I just bought a Hsu stf-1 since the stf-2 Dr. Hsu recommended was too large for my layout and my WAF.

Next I guess I need to break down and get surrounds. I hear they are a really good addition for music and very important for movies (I listen to 95% music).

Also, besides the M22s I would recommend the Ascend cbm 170s - another company of course. Problem with ascends - they look rather plain (some would say ugly) and Ascend does not make bipole or quad pole surrounds as of yet. Hope no one has any problem with my recomending the ascends on this here Axiom board.

Any comments? Someone please tell me good surrounds are not important - it will save me $400!


M22s, QS4s, M2 center, Hsu stf-1.
