I am new member to the message board but have been a long time reader. Here are some pics of my new axiom setup,
http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/retraceoj/slideshow?&.dir=/e88d&.src=ph
originally I thought I would like all the grills off but having the grills on with my M80ti’s seem to blind in with the rest of the system. I took a pic with them on and off, let me know what your guys vote is.
The only complaint I have with the system is the ceiling brackets only allow 2 ½ inchs of clearance and the manual states to allow a foot but what can I do? Here are the specs of my system (Think I fell for the whole wire hoopla, I think having good wires help but may of went a little to overboard)

Very nice setup. I'm a grills on guy because I feel it presents a cleaner look. But, you should disregard what any of us say and do what pleases YOU. You could always tilt the side and rear surrounds down a little. That would open up the top woofers some. Give it a try and go with whatever sounds best to you.

That's a very nice setup!
I need a basement like that.
I kept the grills on my M60's but only for protection, from the young ones...

Hmmmm,
I hope you got a better price on your speaker cables than this website mentions:

But at least you admit you may have been had.

Trace, gorgeous setup, but it might look even better if those lights behind the M80s had quality power cords. As far as the grills, it definitely looks(and possibly sounds)better in my view with them off.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Great setup. How do the QS's sound in the rear center positions of the 7.1 setup? Ever tried Direct radiating in those spots? IS there a diference? Just wondering. Again great set up. Oh ya grilles off in front and on for the surrounds.
