Tom,
You give some good advice. The energys are pretty good speakers for my room. I will probably be moving to a new base pretty soon and will do most of my movie watching in the living room. The space will definitely be bigger and I will be looking for more speaker to fill a larger room.
I guess I should have stated that the difference in each speaker is harder for me, personally, to tell. I think that is my biggest concern. That does not mean that I don't believe axioms are a cut above all the speakers I played around with today.
My disappointment probably has something to do with my expectations with my new receiver, too. I thought I was going to be able to hear a difference between different receivers but it is harder for me to detect. I probably will change my tune once I spend some more time with my new gear.
And, no, I do not currently own axiom's M60s. I own Polk Audio Monitor 60s. Sorry for confusion.
