My first post so please take it easy....For the money the older models of Athena speakers are not that bad. While I save to complete my Axiom set up I am running a set of AS-B2's and an AS-C1 center. They get pretty good bass response and fill in for movie night.
I wouldn't touch the new LS series of speakers. Every time I have heard them I walk away thinking. How did they screw up a good thing?
If you are considering Athena look for the older models.
