From all the advice I have received here, as well as a similar post at another forum, I have opted for more speaker and less amp. As my Axiom order had not yet shipped, I called and changed my M3/EP350 combo in for a M60/EP350 combo instead. The wife will have to live without the vaSSalo series veneer and be happy with the High Gloss Cherry.
My compliments to Brent and all of the crew at Axiom, as they were kind enough to stop production on my custom vaSSalo order in order to satisfy my request. They didn't even flinch. This is truly great customer service, and I can hardly wait to receive my new system!
