>>you mentioned an AMP--what brand do you recommend and what should I look for to couple with the Axiom?

I'm not really up to date -- the last power amp I ran was a big Marantz unit quite a few years ago -- but even worse I'm a long-standing member of the "all good amps sound pretty much the same as long as they have a decently high damping factor" club

I'm running an HK 630 receiver with my M60s and haven't felt the need for more power yet.

M60ti, VP180, QS8, M2ti, EP500, PC-Plus 20-39
M5HP, M40ti, Sierra-1
