I am a new user to Home Theater and have currently enyoyed the sound produced by Athenas (Auditions), Energy (Connisseur), RBH (Signature) and Klipsch (can't think of the Model at this time) which I have liked all of them so far (I have listened to many others as well, and have not enjoyed them as much as most appear to have highs and lows, but appear to miss out on the Mids. I was reading that Axiom were comparable to the ones I listed above, but would like to listen to them to see how they sound. I am looking at spending around 1500 for a system (speakers only). The room is a larger room (17x22 sitting, 17x33 total size of room (note that it is a living room, has lots of windows and tile floor (a large plush rug is located on the floor). I would prefer to go with bookshelves in the front due to the layout of the room as well. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
