I believe that I owe everyone an update and closure to my dilemma. Everyone was very nice (in both Axiom and AV123 forums) and I am posting this updatee in both sites.

After completing all the commercial discussions, I found that the rockets are MUCH more expensive to SHIP. Therefore, the complete SHIPPED to Oman price difference between the Rockets 750 7 speaker package and the Equivalent Axiom 7 speaker package (M80 ... etc) is more than $2500. I cannot justify paying double the price of Axiom for the Rockets.

So I decided to go with the Axiom package.

I placed an order for the following Axiom Package:

M80ti x Pair
VP150
QS8 x 2 Pairs
Wall Brackets


These were shipped today and I cannot wait for them to arrive.

Strange that after all those attempts to evaluate the speaker performance and sound re-production, things boil down to commercial issues for a final decision

Thanks for all the help that everyone provided.
