Sorry guys, I had to leave for a couple of days and just got back. Great opinions so far. One thing I definitely did not think of is combining the Studio 100s with Axiom surrounds. That seems like a great idea. I am quite happy with the surrounds from Axiom and would not mind buying them again. I have to admit that I am not happy with the Center channel (VP150), though. I feel that that is the weak link in my current system. I will likely get the Paradigm CC.
In regards to price, yes it is always a factor but if the difference is relatively small, then it may be worth spending that extra money. Again, if got directly from Canada, the Studio 100s can be had for approx 2000 a pair (I have not personally confirmed this, but this includes the duty money you get back at the border, etc.) That is not all that much difference compared to M80s.
I have to check out the used speaker deal. Thanks for the link.
