When I was putting together my HT setup, a co-worker of mine was also building a system. I opted for the Rotel/Axiom route, while he opted for the Anthem/M&K route. He spent nearly double what I did, and has been kicking himself in the butt ever since he visited my place and heard my system.

They're good, yeah, but WAAAY over priced. (Or is it that Axioms are way under priced?) Either way, you'll end up spending a pile of cash if you go the M&K route. (Unless you had planned on only buying that one pair of speakers for a 2 channel system.)
