Yep. His fronts are not exactly "towers" from what I hear.

Hehe, agreed.

Last question, has anyone here had any experience using the Axioms with SACD or DVD-Audio? Any comments would be appreciated.

Certainly! They sound great. Well, SACDs do. The only DVD-A I own has a menu system that I can't stand, so I never play it.

I have recently ventured into Blu-ray and lossless audio and I must say I have been blow away with the quality of sound that my Axiom speakers produce with movies such as I,Robot, The Dark Night, Kung Fu Panda etc and multichannel concerts such as the Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds Blu-ray. Stunning! \:\)

Axiom speakers benefit greatly from good recordings as they bring out every little nuance (good and bad). SACD and DVD Audio would sound excellent.

Stunning is a perfect word for the DM BR. There is simply no noise, just the sounds they make in complete clarity.

From my own subjective standpoint, clarity is one of the advantages I have noticed with the Blu-ray format and lossless audio in general. Zimm, you have to rent Kung Fu Panda on BR \:\) . Your QS8's will sing with glory. . Awesome use of surrounds. One of my favorites.

Hi Mark,

Hilarious rears! Yes, the 5-piece Axiom 5% discount does apply to S-N AV receivers from our site.

I might do that today. I saw the DVD, but everybody seems to really love the BR. No idea why I rented the DVD - oh yes - I convinced my kids DVD only plays in the den, while BR only plays in my theater room. Now I remember.

Regarding the original topic, here is a photo of what I'm using for rears. I had to construct a custom mounting plate for them:

Let me guess. You used a 45mm hole saw in the center of the plate and called it a day?
