So let me get this straight...You have to wait for them to bump/drop/scratch a few before your name moves up on the list?

Yeah...either that or wait for people that are unhappy and return them.

Well I tell you what.. I will give you my system as it sounds like it may be right up your alley! lol Here goes:
Yamaha RX-V2300 6 Channel Reciever
Axiom M22ti's Front
Axiom VP150 Center (A must with the M22's) Killer!!
Axiom QS8's Rear surround
Axiom M2i Rear 6th Channel
Axiom EP175 Sub

All in all the system ROCKS!! As for the reciever, you could probably get away with the model under mine, as with the efficiency of the Axiom speakers you would not be short of power. I have yet to get my reciever over negative 25 before the China and windows shake! lol The M22ti's, VP-150, QS8's and M2i, all ROCK!! I will never change this untill the day I go to M80's! lol As for the sub, it works for me now, but could see upgrading it someday. I hope this helps, or at least can lead you in some direction. I feel very safe in saying you will love this set-up if you choose to use it, or a variation of it. Good Luck!

Welcome to the Axiomville, Oak!

I'm going off the reservation. Why not? If you spend more time listening to music than watching movies read the rest. If not, ignore.


I would say Mangepan MMG for the L/R. With a sub you'll have the nicest music reproduction and at $550 you'll still have enough to buy a vp100 ($220) and a pair of qs4s ($310). Okay I'm over by $80

This is a great set up - if you spend most of your time listening to music.

Unfortunately there are three reasons you may not want this system.

1) the maggies are big - you can wall mount them but they definitely speak bachelor or separate listening room.

2) the power necessary to drive the maggies is large. They are 4 ohm speakers somewhat power hungry especially if you want a lot of volume.

3)I don't know if the vp100 will integrate itself well with the maggies. But if you buy the maggies first you can take axiom up on their offer and see if the whole thing works.

Good luck!
