Rick, I've heard both the RS6s and RS8s and was impressed by them. I felt they sounded similar to P'digm Studios if not a little 'warmer' (did NOT A/B test btw). The problem I had with the MAs and the P'digms was mainly the $$ of a complete system...add a centre, surrounds ect and the price gets up there for essentially the 'same' sound as Axiom. \:\)

Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.
