Birdman:

I spoke with Joe today from Axiom and he's recommending the 80s. He said rather than room size in my situation ancillaries would be key. He said they typically recommend the 60s with a receiver and 80s with separates. I explained I've got a whomping 300 per into 4 ohms and he said to go with the 80s.

Regarding the surrounds, he recommend a different route: he said the put the 2's on their sides in the bookcase. He said it would be a less expensive route to go than 100s and should sound equally good. Since I've got the 2s, I'm going to move them back there (one vertically and one horizontally) to see if there's much of a difference with pink noise.
