A pair of M60's, a VP150, an EP500, and 2(adding a 3rd after I buy a new receiver) QS8's--that's the system everyone should own. I love them in every way, and my 8 year old Yamaha receiver with only 80 watts per channel has no trouble driving them. I can't wait to see what a new receiver will do to the sound. And as for bang for your buck, a good friend of mine whose a musician has an expensive Paradigm system that he swears sounds just like my Axioms which were half the cost.
