Well, so far these seem to be what I'm looking for. The sound is very smooth and the clarity is extremely nice. As of right now it looks like I will keep them. I will be getting a ML center channel and a
(HSU or SVS) sub in the near future, but the way the living room is configured, it's going to be hard (almost impossible) to have a full 5.1 or 7.1 surround system. I guess I'll stick with the fronts, center and sub until we move and have a room designated for a theater. That's when the Axiom's will be ordered. Thanks for all the advice. It's greatly appreciated.
I did have one question about the Yamaha 2500. It seems that you really have to move the volume a lot to get any sound. I mean, you get plenty of volume, but it seems to come on slowly. Is this normal?
