Jack, happy to help
Even happier to have your affirmation
Golden, good find!
Kathleen, you might just go ahead and give the EP175 a try if money is tight and you are impatient. You will probably think it is wonderful, especially if your frame of reference does not currently include a good quality subwoofer. If you decide you need/want "more sub" within the 30 day trial period, I'm sure Axiom will be generous in accommodating you.
Another option might be to get the M2 and the EP350 instead of the M3 and EP175.
You haven't mentioned how you will be positioning the speakers; will they sit on top of a stand next to the TV or something?
Also, remember that the Axiom Factory Outlet saves you some money and most people (including me) cannot easily find any visible flaw with FO speakers.
