Hi John, thanks for the response. I guess I didn't ask the question properly. I wasn't really looking for a direct comparison, I was basically wondering if the axioms would provide a warm full sound in my theatre room, mainly used for movies. I find the Klipsch speakers a little bright & tinny and that's what I want to get away from. My one downfall is that I don't want to see speakers everywhere otherwise I would go for the higher end packages with speakers the size of fridges lol.
