Now THAT'S what I'm screamin' about!
That screen is HUGE! I checked out your site, and it looks like it's coming along. If I set the VP150 on to of my set, it's going to make it look small...oh well...
That is a very nice setup. Great job.

bridgman-
No worries on the hijack...
If you can't brag to other HT enthusiasts, who can you brag to?
I would like to see pictures once the HT Loft is completed.

Welcome to the forum David.
I think the M60 package (with the VP150 center) in combination with the Yammie receiver will be perfect for your 1352 cb.ft. family room. So, thumbs up from me.

MiniRock-
Thanks for the welcome. Your HT setup is pretty impressive. I was checking the specs on the speakers, and it looks like the QS8 and VP150 are 6 ohm whereas the M60s are 8 ohm. I know that the RX-V2500 receiver that I have can be switched between 8 ohm and 6 ohm, but I don't think that it can do both. Am I going to have a problem connecting this speaker package to the receiver?

The 6 ohm is apparently more of a "butt covering" option (reduces maximum voltage so the receiver doesn't overheat or shut down) -- a better option is normally to leave the switch in the 8 ohm position and don't drive the system to the limits for a long time.
If the switch actually optimized the amp output for a lower impedence load (eg. a different transformer output) that would be great, but my understanding is that it just makes your amplifier a bit more feeble

Hey David... and welcome!
I have that same exact setup... the 60's, 150 and EP350 ALSO in a 13' square room and I absolutely love it. I was prepared to spend many thousands more for my "dream" speakers; thank God I stumbled across the Axiom name and got my dream speakers for an awful lot less!
Hurry up and order them, leave your receiver on "8 Ohms" and post pics afterwards!

Mark also posted a brief summary of his experiences with the Axioms. If you are on high speed do a search for "mother of all posts" in the last year.
If you are not on high speed ask us about it and we'll give you the Executive Summary

Thanks oz! I still need to paint and put in a different color carpet, but it is coming along.
David, bridgman and Mark are right. Just leave the receiver on 8 Ohms. Oh, and pics are expected.

Hey Guys-
Well, I haven't posted in a while. Bad news...the Wife got her pink slip from her work about two weeks ago. For now, I'm going to have to wait on the speakers, and focus on the more essential things (like mortgage payments, food, etc.)
Thanks for all of the advice. If my situation changes, I'll be back.
Thanks again.
- David
