I have a Yamaha RX-V3300, and like my M60's.....it likes to play clean and loud.
I think the Yamaha/Axiom match up is good, and I'm very pleased with mine.
The only thing different (other than way better) from my old system(s) that I've noticed, is that It seems to need to play a little louder than a ("getting long in the tooth") guy like myself sometimes is in the mood for, to get the full effect...soundstage, bass, etc.
BUT.............for you young fella's...it will rock the house!
