I agree with BigJohn. What would spending the 10K on the speakers do for you? Such expensive speakers would sound incredibly quiet, not being connected to a single Amp, Receiver, DVD Player, etc. Furthermore, would spending an extra grand on speakers significantly improve the sound? Isn't that really why Axiom has such a good place in the market…that you have to spend more than just 1K more to get distinguishable difference in sound? I’d stick with the Axioms, but I would exchange the E350 for the E500 or even the E600, since you will be watching so many shows and your wallet has the headroom. Why not reach down and get those frequencies in the teens, since you can.
