I too am a brand new owner of Axiom speakers.
I got my 50's today.
Let me say: those people who are hesitating about purchasing these or other Axiom speakers-take the plunge.
I find-even after only 5 or 6 hours of break-in-that these are excellent speakers-that will get even better with age.
Thy fit my electronics-quite well.
I have a Linn Wakonda pre-amplifier- an Acurus 250 watt per channel amp.
A California Audio labs-Icon compact disc player.
A Sota Moonbeam turntable-with Grado cartridge.
I use top of the Line Monster cable with exterminator banana plugs-as speaker cable.
My interconnect includes some Monster-some Cardas
I have a 15 year -old Luxman tuner-and a Nakamichi cassette deck.

The sound of these speakers-is full-bodied-rich, transparent and images quite well.

I am not suggesting that any other system is inferior or superior to mine. What you hear is the culminaztion of your choices and experiences-your room-and your perception of the sonic event.
But i am saying that these speakers sound great to me-so far.
I will keep people appraised of my observations-as time goes by.

Thank you Alan for your personal suggestion.

Later.
