denzo,

the first thing you need to know is money doesn't always buy better sound. I have heard a few JM Lab speakers and I never found they lived up to their ridiculous price tag. Same goes for B & W.

for example, the M80, at $1500 per pair (or something close to that) sound just as good as B & W's that are about $5000 a pair. Only the Nautilus, which start at closer to $8000 per pair, sounded better, and not by THAT much.

My advice to you would be to listen to some M80's and compare that to whatever you are thinking of buying. Try them with a good sub and you will be even more impressed. A sub is essential for home theatre.

Besdies, you can buy the M80's from Axiom and if you don't like them you ship them back and they give you %100 if your money back (minus shipping) if you return them in mint condition within 30 days of your purchase.

Good luck,
Ravi
