I think it would be hard for you to be disappointed in an Axiom rig if you were happy with the Denon you heard. I love Denon, but I have never heard them forging ahead in the speaker area outside their HTIB. I presumed they outsources those and just put their name on them. Anyway, my advice is to get bookshelf + sub if you are a bigger movie buff. I find towers are better at music. That is a broad overgeneralization ignoring cost and quality of any two competitors. But sometimes generalization helps make a decision when there really is no bad choice in the zone you are talking about.
