I am currently looking for a new setup. I have an old HTIB and went out one day and listened to the Klipsch RF35 system in a local store. I was completely amazed (obviously) since I was used to a crappy HTIB speaker system. It is the YHT23 yamaha system. As I kept doing research on the net I kept hearing nothing but positives about the axiom systems. I have a Yamaha 5240 reciever. Here are my questions.
Can anyone tell me the difference in sound between these two systems? Are they compairable or is one better than the other?

Will my Reciever be able to drive the selected system?


I really enjoy movies and want to really hear and feel the bass. Would the 350 work or should I definitely go with the 500. My room is 25x13x8 (listening area)The room is actually open into my kitchen. Does that make a difference?
