Hi fhw,
I'll definitely be building my system unit by unit due to $ issues.
But a couple of these speakers are going dirt-cheap and if they're any good they might work 'for now' till I can afford to replace them with the Axiom's I want.

I've got a brand new receiver (JVC 8020) with a pair of 25yr-old Optimus 5B speakers for my mains, and computer speakers for my surrounds (Logitech Z-560's), done laughing yet? Wipe the tears from your eyes and I'll continue...

What I was thinking(?) of doing, was to get a cheap center for now ($50 as opposed to the $540 for the VP150 that I want), then start replacing all the speakers bit by bit till I get what I am dreaming of (M60's or M22's, VP150, QS8 or QS4, HSU VTF-2).
But I don't want to spend even the $50 on eBay if they're just pieces of crap!
I've got $200-$300(Cdn) left to spend and it's driving me nuts as to what to do. Should I try one of these? Which one? Or should I continue saving-up for another 2-3 months and buy new?
HELP!
