Hey thanks, that's quite a good idea. I will try that on the 602s, and I have 603s on which I'll try that test too. It simply seems though, that the speakers in general sound good on the high range, but lacking on the low range. I really can't imagine that all 4 speakers were abused (the 603s I got from a different person), and so that's why I thought the amp or AVR might be the culprit. Of course the best test would be to get some speakers from a different manufacturer, but I don't really have the luxury to borrow any speakers here out in the boonies.

Does anyone know the signature of axiom M50s in comparison to B&W speakers? Do they have a good amount of low end?
