Thanks for the opinions. I'm probably going to save the cash.

Sirquack,

I'm looking to improve my music listening.....seeking a more involving and engaging sound. Who isn't, right?

I currently run an Anthem pre-pro to the Emo amp and was wondering if the added power/efficiency/design of the axiom amp would improve overall sq. I've added a SVS sub, which really helped the overall performance of my system. I realize some view 2.1 listening for stereo as heresy. However, prior to integrating the sub, I was slightly disappointed with the stereo sound (esp in the low end, which was almost absent on concert dvd's and some of my more aggressive rock cd's).

Thanks again. -Lennie
