The Von Schweikert's are also on my 'short list', with a pair of VR 2's up front and the VR 1's as the rear surrounds. Unfortunately, the nearest dealer is close to 300 miles away, so listening isn't a real option.

However, for accuracy, you might want to hunt up the reviews of the Axiom M2i's, they've gotten some pretty amazing ones. I've ordered a pair for my 'trial horse' system, and am very much looking forward to hearing them.
