can anyone tell me which car is the best one?
and the answer is: A wheelchair accessible van. I don't recommend a comparison....Take my empirical affirmation to the bank!
The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.

Buying a speaker is one of the hardest purchases to make. Over a period of 30 years i have moved a great number of times.During those 30 yrs ihad the same speakers and they did not sound the same every single time i moved. No matter where or how you auditon a speaker when you get it home it is not going to sound the same.Before i ever give up on a set of speakers i will do a lot of room treatment first.
JBall please share your experience once you get your new speakers home.I do not have a golden ear and i am always interested to hear direct comparisons. And yeah dont be sorry, a freind of mine has paradigms and he raved about them,yet i felt they were nothing special. To each is own i say. Thanks and sorry to those Axiom owners I have offended with my rants. My neighbor dropped by today and listened to my M60s and loved them. I have cash in hand from him to buy them and just sitting patiently to get my Sierra towers now. I'm not ordering the center channel till I am sure I'm keeping the new towers.

I am glad you found a new owner for the m60's. When I ordered my axiom and ascends last summer I needed to sell my Energies to fund my new speaker purchases...I could not bare to stick them in the basement...since I already had 2 other sets of speakers there...lol. The guy who bought them paid 600.00 (~50% less of what I paid) and was really exxcited with his new speakers...I was glad they found a new home and can be enjoyed. I'm pretty sure you'll love the new towers....I do...  Regards, Bill

Those Ascend towers look like they would be wonderful speakers, and the company has certainly earned a very good reputation.
I always like hearing stories about what people enjoy.

and the answer is: (Or: which speaker is the best one?) my answer: no car is the best one. it always depends on a lot of things: best for what? "best for everything" does not exist. It's always compromises, compromises...

Best is easy. Best for me is what I have in my living-room (speakers) and driveway.

Same goes for Canada.
Double unfortunately, it does not pay to be a saver these days.
Government sl*ts and their forced low interest rates. Good for people holding lots of debt. Very bad for savers.
