I have no affiliation with Rotel. I just like what I have, and cannot fairly speak of other product which I know nothing about.

I'm also a huge "bang-for-the-buck" kind of guy, and much like Axiom, Rotel is in that same league when it comes to separates.

I also agree that some wall hangings, or something to help "deaden" that room would probably do wonders for the sound.
