Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater HK AVR 8000 or AVR 525, Epic 60 or Epic 80

Hi, all
I'm going to spend $3000 US for my new system. My room is about 16X15, 9ft height and open to kitchen araa. it will be mainly for moives and music 50%/50%. The setup I have in mind is an HK AVR8000($900) + Epic80($2000+) or an HK AVR 525($600) + Epic 60, maybe AVR 8000 + Epic60 if this is the best combination.

Anyone has the similar setup or recommendation?? I would like to have some advise since there is no way for me to audit it.

Thanks a lot

First I have to say, I am VERY partial to my Epic 80s. The M80 towers are so amazing! You cannot go wrong with the Epic 80 setup. I dont know about the HKs, but make sure they can push 4 ohm speakers...if not, you should go 60s!
