Hello blackorp

Your Axioms will only make your system sound better. Different DVD players have very different sound qualities. It's not price dependent. Low cost Toshibas have very good redbook sound quality, so do some Pioneers and Sonys. Check out AVGuide.com's recommended components (DVDs), their reviews have been very good over the years.

Good luck!
