In reply to:
With regard to the speakers,I have read on other forums that many people opt to go with a different Sub other than the Axiom sub. Have you read this and if so what do you think?
Over the years there has been a tendency to recommend HSU and SVS subs over Axiom subs. I'm not exactly sure how or why this got started, because most who own the Axiom subs seem very content with them.
Regardless, with the introduction of the EP500 and EP600, there has been a change. These two subs have raised the Axiom bar, and led to comparisons where some, in fact, prefer the Axioms to HSU and SVS. I am one of these, and own an EP500. If these subs are in your budget, you wouldn't be disappointed by either.
Likewise, I doubt you would be disappointed with a HSU or SVS sub. Also, there are other worthy manufacturers such as Velodyne, Rocket, and Mirage. Just don't be quick to pass up an EP500 or 600 based on what you've read elsewhere.
