I heard the entry level electrostatic towers and at double the price of the M80s, I wasn't impressed.
As for the sub, I agree. If you want to go away from Axiom for the subs, offerings from the typical HSU, SVS, ED and the likes are typically the best bang for the buck. However, for Canada, unless you can get somebody to bring it from the US, once you include the shipping cost, not as much.
