there are several of us in texas, but i dont know about houston..?
i think biggsly might be from down there, but i aint sure. most of the axiom owners are in the dallas/ft worth area. and then ya got me out in the middle of nowhere!!
honestly, i stay as far away from houston as i possibly can. we refer to it as "the armpit of texas" around here.
and, back on subject.. axioms are extremely efficient speakers.. so, you dont have to go with a big powerful receiver, unless you just want to.. i think a receiver with 75-100 wpc, will push the M60's just fine.
