Thanks for all the in put I still do know which one but the 80's seem to be a better choice but I could allways go with the 60's and later when I wanted to go with a 7.1 system get a pair of 80's for up front and move the 60's in the back I don't know just a thought it could be a little over kill but when it comes to sound you can never have enough
Thanks again

I was seriously thinking about using M60s for the rear's, but Alan recommended against it. His rationale had to do with the overall sound dispersion.

I ordered 60s and upgraded in the 30 day period. Axiom even paid for return freight for the 60s. I had both sets in the house at one time.

Either way you go both speakers sound great.
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

Gieseman keep in mind that a pair of floorstanders such as the 60s will be somewhat difficult to physically place as rear surrounds without getting in the way of *something* unless your particular room has ample space for them.
I was seriously toying with the idea of moving our 60s to the rear of our 14x25' dedicated room but kept finding that wherever I placed them they were going to either be in the way of something or they were going to be sticking out into the passage areas .... a couple of rear QS8s were added with our existing side QS8s and the world could not be a happier place, no body's running into to rear speakers and the sound is tremendous.

Right on thanks for the input and your right a pair of 60's in the rear would be in the way and the QS8's would not be. My house is not built yet but when I get in it I will post my view on the Axiom speakers. I have been real happy with Axiom I have wrote in a lot and they have been wondreful I can't wait to hear there speakers. Thanks to all Gieseman

That is an interesting comment about getting in the way of something. Never thought of it just that way, but I think that you are correct!

I decided on the M60's just to avoid any potential issues driving the 4ohm M80's with my Yami V2600. For what it is worth I can drive the M60's without distortion till my ears bleed and am still below the max output of the Yami.

Just for the record, my Onkyo is not one of the "preferred" receivers to drive the 4 ohm M80s. However, I have had NO problem driving them!!!!
Of course that could be a result of my particular receiver or that I do not listen at levels above 90-95 dB SPL.
