Hiya PapaJ. Glad to see you're fitting in already. Welcome to the insanity. As you can tell, the folks around here are a bunch of loons, but boy do we have a great time. With a 15' x 24' room, you have plenty of space to put together a really enjoyable system. First things first (as others have already said) I would come up with a budget of what you have available to spend or you also have the option of putting things together one component at a time. I suppose it also depends on how badly you want to be ready for the release of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway on SACD as well. Anyway, just keep poking around and have fun taking in the plethora of audio info. Oh and there are a few Porcupine Tree fans around here as well as prog fans, so feel free to discuss music anytime. Oh yeah, and make sure you check to see if there are any Axiom owners around you. I'm sure they'd be glad to show off their system for you.
