LOL. Right you are Bob. I think the more you the harder the decision is when everything isn't cut and dry.. Maybe if we didn't order from the factory outlet we wouldn't have had the time to agonize over the decision.

Wid,

Speakers are 8 Ohms and rated for 200 watts. I looked online and cant find any info on sensitivity or frequency response. Im sure the Axioms are more efficient.

The only reference i found online was this youtube video:

Mine don't sound that bad thankfully, but I am looking forward to the upgrade.


Zimm,

Did you just cut a hole in the back and mount the fan blowing out? I have computer fans sitting around and saw a site that sells ac to 4 pin adapters for about 10 bucks.

I currently have my AVR sitting next to my cable box, but may move them so they are each sitting on their own shelf. This should help a little.
