They say there is no big deal about matching a sub with speakers. I can't help but think that there is a lot going on in R&D to help a developer's sub match seemlessly into their product line. So I understand the notion of staying with the same product line throughout. So I will stay with the Axiom sub and most likely stay with the 350. BUT I might still have another day or so to change my mind. Back to the torture process. (Oh wait! We don't allow torture anymore in this country!)
