Hey thanks guys for the head's-up on the Factory Outlet. I will definitely use that.

Quick questions: I really like the enthusiastic recommendation on the M22's and EP500. I forgot to mention I also have a Pioneer S-CR500 center speaker. Would I be better off to use the above-mentioned "phantom mode" on the l/r mains or to use the Axiom lefts and rights in conjuction with the not-so-great Pioneer speaker mentioned above?

Also, is the difference between the EP350 and EP500 substantial? There's a big jump in price there. Go for the 500?

One other question: If you were in my shoes, would you opt to stick with using solely the Axiom mains and sub, or would you use those AND incorporate the not-so-great surround speakers I mentioned above. I'm really after quality and would be okay with having a 2.1 setup versus as 5.1 if the sound-quality would drop by introducing the Cambridge and Pioneer speakers mentioned above.

Your thoughts?
