I third the Denon vote, I went back and forth for months from Yamaha to Elites to Denon, I was driving myself crazy reading all of the biased opinions on AVSforum. Anyway, I called Axiom and talked to Joe, Brent, and one other person (can't remember) over a period of a month while trying to determine which speakers to go with, they all gave high praise to the Denon/Axiom combination. Anyway, I've had my 2805 and Axiom's for a few weeks now, and believe me, for someone that has a musical background, I am so impressed each time I listen to music/movies that I can't get this smile off of my face. In addition, my father used to be a professional singer. He was on the Ed Sullivan show back in 59 along with his buddy Steve Lawrence. He was over the other day listening to various CD's in his collection, and he was amazed at the detail/clarity of this combination, you could close your eyes and feel like the artist was right there in the room with you.
