Thanks Chess,

I actually contacted them for a catalogue last week. I hope it arrives soon.

The Axiums are to arrive early next week, so I am trying to get the rest of the little things prepared before their arrival. I am sure there will be some piece of the pie missing.

I broke down and bought a pair of the Monitor Audio S8's. they dropped the price by atleast 25% this last couple of days in preparation for the new models soon to come out.

I figure they won't sound as good as those Tannoy's, but will be a nice addition to the upstairs living room. With the Anthem amp running the M80's and the VP150, it leaves the front L/R amps in the NAD receiver for the S8's.

There will surely be an A-B comparison in the works.

As far as speaker wire and cables, I am trying to turn over every rock.

Have you heard of "Prism Bi-wire". It has 2 connectors out from receiver/amp and splits into bi-wire to all 4 connectors on the speaker. Also, there is "Tara Helix 8" which uses multi wire cable to the speaker. I wonder how far a person really needs to go to get audible difference between each.
