Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners 2 bookshelf + sub, or 2 floorstanding speakers?

Floorstanding speakers in general usually have better bass response than bookshelfs. As you said, a lot has to do with how the receiver is setup, for example, crossover, speaker size, position in the room, etc... The Axiom m60's and m80's have killer bass without a sub, I've held many auditions in my house, and the people don't believe me when I tell them the sub's are turned off.
