Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners PSB or not to PSB?

Tough call. I listened to PSB Image 5s before buying my Axioms and I did like the sound of the Axioms better. Also, for a home theater system, the QS4 and QS8s are tough to beat because they do a fantastic job of giving you the "large room" sensation of a movie theater and still do a good job on directional sounds / special effects.

On the other hand there is an argument for matching the sound between fronts and surrounds, but I find that is a bigger issue for 5.1 music than for movies.

I would say if he listens to a lot of music in 5.1 (rather than just using the mains as a lot of people do) he should look at the matching PSB surrounds... but if he is mostly using the system for home theater then go with the QS4s.
