How about the secret M80 + 3 M2 package? What would that run you? - about $1375?

Well it's not a secret any more! You and your big.......keyboard?

BigWill makes a pretty good point here... The Package he just described (M80's and M2's for $1375)... and for the Ascend Package, to compare fairly to the QS-8 and RS 300 surrounds, you really need to bump the Ascend package to 340's all around... figuring about $1500-$1550 delivered...

Is everybody in agreement that these systems, ranging from $1400 to $1900 are excellent values in the bang for the buck category ?

Also... There may be a 4th entry...

Craig....fair or not...you can always note the product pricing.

The best part....well for you at least....is it is fun.

Curtis, I do appreciate that... I just want to make sure there is something resembling a consensus as far as packages which compare. You can drive yourself nuts trying to look at every conceivable configuration... I am trying to match Retail, size, driver compliment, weight... for each system.

Curtis, Do you have a price for the new finish options on the Ascend speakers... Axiom posts the price, but the last I looked, Ascend requested an e-mail or phone call for a quote.

I think Curtis makes a real good point. If the packages differ in price, as long as the prices are noted, everybody is free to decide for themselves what fits their budget, and what is a good deal for them.

Well, I, for one, do. Throw in the excellent customer service one can receive from these companies, and whichever way you go, you're really getting a damn good deal.

Actually, I was going to ask you the same question.

Ok... Sounds like everyone is pretty happy. On a fun note, Yesterday I visisted a few additional audio stores, and listened to Energy, B&W and Totem... The Totem Hawk was the least expensive speaker to sound as good as the factory direct $400-$600 speaker pairs we already have here.... it sells for $3200 Canadian. The $1200 Energy C-9 was ... terrible

Wow. That's incredible.

Hey, I've never heard the Cambridge Soundworks Tower speakers anywhere near the Axiom M50, 60, etc, but one of my clients has Tower IIs in a non-optimal configuration. They sound pretty good to me. Anyone heard these in comparison with Axioms? (I know, I should make my own call, but this place is an hour from home, and, well, you know, no chance of audio memory lasting that long...) Just curious, as they would be more in the price range of the Axioms.

I have heard the Cambridge Towers... they are pretty good. I was more amazed at the lack of sound quality of the speakers I heard... Remember, too... all prices quoted were in Canadian Dollars.
