Hi Dean, thanks for the great advise. I was trying to decide between 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 setup but based on your experience with same size room I will just stick with 5.1. I can always add later if needed. I was also concerned with the apartment and neighbor thing to. I will be moving before buying the Axioms, so I will try to find an apartment where one side doesn't back on to another apartment if possible. From what I've seen so far room sizes are about the same everywhere, so volume will be limited.
Thanks for the tech advise too, I'll look into that as well.

Cheers
