what about for the sub?

I would recommend something along the lines of this in the appropriate length...

Yep, wired the Media Room with the 12AWG Belden from Blue Jeans Cable and it's fantastic stuff. Reasonably priced too.

I also ordered a few feet of the Canare 4S11 Quadstar and made some of my own cables for the front speakers. That was fun, if unnecessary, and they look really nice (think WAF). The locking banana plugs they sell are very nice and accommodate VERY large gauges.

One bummer is that I ended up buying too many of those locking bananas because I was thinking (incorrectly) that I could use bananas on the QS8s with the T-bracket. I've since learned that there is simply not enough room for that and I'll have to connect bare wire. I guess I'll have to Ebay them or something.

I cut the t-bracket. The t-bracket is over-designed.

Regarding stands for the surrounds that come with the epic 60 5.1 system. I guess they require a special stand due to their unique design...

The wall mounts and the stands on the axiom website seem ok, but are a little costly

Anyone have any ideas as far as mounting these things on the wall or some stands that are fairly cheap?

My buddy makes stainless steel countertops and other stuff for a living and he made some nicely polished stainless steel speaker stands for his home theater (they were small speakers out of a box set.) I may try and pursuade him tomake me some special stands with a hole cut in the bottom or something... but not sure if he has the extra time.)

also: Sorry for keeping this thread alive so long, I just keep comming up with more questions!

This thread has turned from "axiom or klipsch" to "how do I set up my axioms"

thanks for all the advice by the way!

I do have pics of the blemishes i received on my speakers, however from my past posts the links to those photos may no longer be available.
If you are still interested, send me a PM and i'll see about reposting a few.
Just to note, our VP150 was a Factory Outlet unit and i have yet to find any flaw whatsoever.
I can only wonder if someone made a boo boo at the Factory but i'm more inclined to think that the Axiom QA/QC program is top notch. My visit to the Factory only solidified that opinion.

Sure. You know the vertical part of the T? I simply cut that off about half-way down so that it didn't interfere with the connection port.

The surrounds come with metal T-brackets. Mount the brackets to the wall and hang the surrounds on the brackets. Works great!

I mounted my centre with the full-metal bracket from Axiom. It looks great just floating there in space .
