Arti, yes that's an accurate distillation. Any receivers of the quality that we would seriously consider(certainly including the Onkyo which you're considering)can drive any of the Axioms to beyond safe(to your hearing)listening levels. Rated speaker impedance(which in actual practice fluctuates widely at different frequencies)shouldn't be a matter of significant concern.

Arti, to help nail down the 'sound/speaker' you are looking for I am wondering if you like a good midrange/better detailed sound or something more laid back?

Jake, I'm looking for a full-range sound with a smooth, linear response from the lowest to the highest frequency my ears can hear. At the same time, I want detail. Specifically, I want instrument separation. I want to be able to pick out every instrument without all the instruments getting muddled together. I wouldn't say I'm looking for "midrange", per se. Rather, I'm looking for everything. I found my way to Axiom because while I want high-quality audio, I don't want to pay a hundred-thousand dollars to get it. If a speaker exists that plays back +/- 0 db from 0 hz to infinity hz, that's what I want. Not sure I can afford it, though.

The Revel Salon 2 has a listening window of 26Hz to 20kHz ±1.0dB at a price of $20,000/pair.

If you go with the normal ±3 the Salon2s go from 23 Hz to 45 kHz.
Some people dream about striking it rich and buying super cars. If I found a couple million the first thing I'd do is buy a complete set of Ultima2s.
...and then get a Ferrari 408.

The M80s offer the best detail, the M60s and M22's would be next on my list and a re very close to the M80. You could start with the m22's and see if you like the 'Axiom sound' this way if you don't like them it is cheaper to ship them back, if you do like them you can return them for the M60 or 80's. (Axiom pays shipping when 'upgrading' to a more expensive speaker)

It should be the Ferrari FF. http://pictures.topspeed.com/IMG/crop/201101/ferrari-ff-awd-sport_1600x0w.jpgNot the prettiest, but I'd drive it in winter.

Looks like it has hip dysplasia. Makes me think of the BMW Z3 coupe.
