A few years ago I acquired an older model Axiom amp, my girlfriend (who has much better musical ears than I) insisted it stay in the music room (replacing a Bryston 8b). There were some issues with the earlier Axiom models - this one included (seemed to die randomly then work when it cooled off if I recall) and I purchased an ADA 1500-7. We're using it to bi-amp B&W 703's (I don't have a home theater) - the Bryston is still in storage.
