i have a rotel rmb-1075 thx amp. looking at a 5 or 7 channel thx rotel preamp as well. was planning on doing the following:
b&w 703 fronts, htm-7 center, ds-6 thx surrounds. my brother is basically ranting that i am a nutjob for wanting to spend that kind of money. i can get the 703's local pick up for 2100 from a previous owner right now.
axiom seems to get great reviews, not sure if there is any place around here (far nw chicagoland suburbs) that i can listen to them though. i am wondering of your opinions of them and them vs. b&w if you have experienced both; is b&w clearly a difference or is the difference very slight? do you have plans on keeping your axioms or eventually upgrading them to something else? doesn't seem like an easily available used market as b&w's has, but for a swipe of a card through this website and a chunk less money i can have a complete system sent to my home. i am wondering if i would be as satisfied with the axioms as i would b&w. i plan on using them for plenty of movies and music as well. i want to be able to turn them up and fill a pretty big room for music as well. i have pretty varied musical tastes as i can listen to tool one minute and some country the next... i suppose i am particularly in bass response of both the sub and the m80's. as well as the highs, i am also fond of women's voices, piano, violin. any listeners with wide experience in speakers please let me know your thoughts ! the b&w vs. the epic 80 system. thanks for your time.
