Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Yamaha RX-V2600

I am in the process of outfitting a home theater and need some advice on a receiver and subwoofer placement (a different post).

I have auditioned the new Yamaha RX-V2600, and I liked it. It has gotten excellent reviews, has a ton of features, etc. Obviously the speakers I listened to with the receiver were not Axioms. So I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how the Axiom-Yamaha combo sounds? Yamaha has the reputation for being on the "bright" side (although I didn't notice excessive brightness, but that could be because of the speakers), and Axiom (and other metal tweeter speakers) have a similar reputation. (I know, they're not bright, but accurate, etc.) My concern is whether the combo will cause fatigue.

I'm in the process of buying M60s, a VP 150, Q8s, and either a EP 500 or EP 600 (leaning toward the 500) sub.

Any advice you can give will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave
