I couldn't agree more. Just got my 7.1 set up last week and The Axioms are great. I especially agree with your comments about the QS8. I bought 4 and have them in my system and the sound is awsome! I also have the M80 and they really fill up the room. I have heard great things about the M60 also. By the way I am 58 and have also tweaked my systems and added gizmos through the years. Played a lot of Rock&Roll music and have always loved playing with the different amps, speakers etc through the years.
