Hello all,
I am an av123 forum regular and am looking to upgrade speakers soon and am leaning toward av123's Rocket speakers. I have never listened to the Rocket speaker line. I currently own the X series (x-cs, x-mtm's and x-ls) and an MFW-15 subwoofer for a full 5.1 setup. I am intrigued by axiom with the price that includes shipping.

I would go with the following if I went the axiom route:
M80's
V150
QS8's

for around $2200

If I went with av123's Rockets I would go with:
RS850's
RS450's
RSC200

With the a sale price of $1999 + shipping it would come in around $2300 (just a guess)

The questions I have are as follows:

Does anyone on this forum have experience with both these setups?

What in your opinion are the highlights of axiom's sound vs. that of the Rocket speakers?

Is the vinyl cheap looking in comparison to the wood veneer of the Rockets?

Thanks
Aaron
