Had . . . - Pioneer receiver (circa late '80's). Paid $1200 in order to get the new thing called Dolby Surround!!! - Hitachi 28" TV - DbPlus 990 tower speakers, new in '89. - Koss M60 bookshelf speakers. - A cheap Mirak 12" subwoofer bought for only ~$100 on sale at Radio Shack (when Canada still had "Radio Shacks"). - Std Bell ExpressVu.
Now . . . - Yamaha HTR 6060 reciever (bought 6 months ago). - Hitachi 51" HD Widescreen. - HD Bell ExpressVu. - And just purchased online here about 20 minutes ago . . . the Axiom Epic 50-500 speaker package!!!
I expect to hear and noticed a little difference!!!! Ironically there was nothing wrong with the old system. Everything still works! But it was probably a little dated. LOL

Thats great news! I think you will be wowed by the upgrade. When I started my upgrade adventure, I thought I was completely happy with 2 channel tv sound for movies and was upgrading purely for music. I must say that I am so thrilled by the improvement in clarity for movies and surround sound is pretty cool!
Let us know how it works out.

I have a case of upgradeitis also :-). You will be thrilled with your new Axioms along with the rest of your sweet setup! I am envious of your television.

80'sMan welcome.... Real80'sMan should be along soon. Curious if you ordered from the factory outlet to get your 10% + 5% discounts? Also, why did you go with the m50's versus the 60's?

Thank's for all the kind words. It's kind'a ironic. I ordered all new as opposed to the factory outlet because there was quite a wait time (especially for the rear surrounds, up to 3 weeks). After all these years and dreaming about upgrading I couldn't wait and get the discount. But on the flip side I got the M50's instead of the M60's because I've really maxed out my budget, and then some, already!!!! I hope it will all be good. Maybe there will be a future upgrade in my future.

speaking of jedi, does anyone plan on watching that new animated star wars movie that is comming out?
I will definitely watch it, but not until it comes to dvd/bluray
