$684 USD came up a few times on a search as well for the 2310.

I'm from Kansas City, Missouri. I'm used to ordering on-line as long as it's from a reputable company. I built a really good PC from ordering parts from newegg.com this spring and summer. Blew about $2000 on parts, but got a really good machine.
My original figure for HT was about $6500, but am trying to cut costs and still get something decent. Hence the M22 order I made today.
The hdtvdreams.com price seems too good to be true at around $580. Seems a little suspicous since they say the competitors sell same for around $1100 when retail was set at $850 though.

CB, I'm sure that you'll enjoy your M22s as I have mine for almost eight years now. On the receiver, keep in mind the option of a factory refurbished unit at considerable savings. I've had good experiences with them and tend to agree with the view that they're more likely to be trouble-free than a brand-new unit. One especially good buy at this time is the Onkyo 706 for about $450 with free shipping from Accessories4less , an authorized factory refurb dealer.

John, so the thought process is that a more experienced tech went over the unit and refurbed anything that needed it vs. new production techs that are just doing a job? I never thought of it that way but that does seem to make some sense?

I've had good luck with refurbs, too.

I've been a little skeptical about refurbs as well, though I have a Logitech remote and an Oppo 980H that have not given me any issues so far. Both looked brand new when I got them.

I'm thinking about either an Onkyo TX-SR806 or a Denon 2310ci receiver. I want something with the most sound/equalizer adjustments. Does anybody have any experience with either of these or have a better recommendation?
Also, I ordered the M22's and stands 2 days ago on Tuesday, and no word yet from Axiom about delivery. Is it typical to wait several days before they ship them?
