I took it back today, but now I'm without a receiver because I couldn't make up my mind. They offered my the B & K 505 for one year no interest...very tempting but I doubt I'll have the b*lls to do it (think the woman would kill me.) I'd like to get from the same store and so my best two receiver options there are the Marantz 8300 and Elite 55TX. I'm almost definately gonna get an Elite DVD player, so having the whole i-link setup going is pretty cool. I didn't like the warmth of the Marantz, but it would probably sound better given the sharpness of the Axioms. I should have listened to it with the Def Techs. I'm going back Tuesday and I'd really like to have my mind made up by then.
