I just bit the bullet too, i got mine on friday. My expectations were far exeeded. The finish on these speakers is nothing short of amazing. Still tweaking, but they have a real unique sound. I'm kinda loving it lol, enjoy!
I'd rather have two girls at 21 each than one girl at 42

Andy, the QS8s are stunning. The one thing I would suggest is that you take the time to do the calibration so the speakers sing well right from the get-go. These Axioms will be a nice addition to the rest of your outfit.

Andy:
I too await your response, since I've yet to buy my Axioms (not really a decision issue, just budget right now) and my wife has heard the Klipsch you mentioned; she wasn't all that impressed and insisted that what we buy exceeds those or all this was for not.
I'm not trying to pad your review to fit my needs, but it sure looks that way, doesn't it

I second that on the Qs8', also Andy your system is just like mine, almost, you'll love them....I just watched "Open Range", heck of a movie for those western fans, With my Qs8's you'd swear the bullets are going right through you...

Ray,
I have the radio shack SPL meter and the Avia disc ready to rock when the speakers arrive. But while we are discussing this, how many SPLs am I supposed to bump the sub to make up for meter error? Three, I think?
TKHanson,
I will “pad” my review anyway you need me to in order to find the wife's approval you need to buy these speakers. Just PM me with the specifics you need. I can see my review now…,
“The first time I watched ‘When Harry Met Sally’ with the Axioms was like watching the movie for the first time. The detail offered by the VP150 makes you fall in love with the characters like never before.”

When i adjusted for my sub, i just let the sub hum, for a minute until i got a good average.. Don’t know if its the most "correct" way... but that’s what i did..

Andy, there's really no set formula - calibrate everything to 85 db. I was trying to explain that the sub ends up being a bit subjective. Once you calibrate all equally, see how it sounds. From that starting point, set it to your taste. I remember reading somewhere that +3 db is about right once the calibration is done. By all means - experiment a bit.
Also, take a look at this . It's kind of interesting.

Here are the RS meter compensation recommendations from SVS. 3dB at 30 hz, less at higher frequencies, more at lower frequencies. Does anyone know what frequency the fixed LF noise signals on the Avia disk are centered on ?
