I just got a full set of Emotiva speakers, the ERT-8.3, the ERM-6.3s and the ERDs. I have been largely listening to the 8.3s in stereo mode and enjoying them.

I will be coming up to the end of my 30 day trial period in another week or so. I recently came across Axiom speakers. The Epic 80 500 package seems to be interesting.

Any thoughts on which may be better? My listening area will be the family room of a typical large home. I was considering the Paradigm Studio 100s before I came across Emotiva and decided to try them out. I think for the price difference, I am going to stay with the Emotivas unless folks here think I should try out the Axioms as well.

I am driving my speakers with an Emotiva XPA-5 (fantastic) and an Onkyo SC886 pre-amp (very nice).

Thanks for your inputs.
