Thank you SO much; that is exactly what I was looking for.

I don't think I have bad equipment per se', just not on the level of what most people with speakers in this class have, and just wanted to make sure all was okay.

As to HT, I don't have a dedicated "theater" room. My setup is in my living room, and although quite a large room for my modest sized house, large speakers are out of the question due to layout. That is why I currently own quintets, all wall mounted. When I first started putting things together, I needed the smallest speakers I could, but in hindsight was a poor decision because they don't blend well with my sub, so in the future I will be replacing them with bookshelves, although I do worry about mounting (won't be able to always hit a stud).

As to auditions, I haven't checked in the other forum, but in all my research I have done, I did find a "map" of Axiom owners, but didn't even see ONE in TN.
