Sounds like the package you chose is just about perfect for what you listen to, and the size of the room you have.

welcome bugbitten,

I spent about 2-3 months audition various speakers, most of the ones you mention above. My brother in-law has a professional recording studio in which he uses the 703 B&W's. We recently took my M60's there and he was very amazed of what he was hearing. To some Axioms may be pricey, but when they perform as well as Speakers twice to three times the price, oh well you get the picture. The build quality is fantastic. My previous speakers where a combination of my 80's Pioneer 4-ways (which still work great), Infinity bookshelf for surrounds, an Advent Center, all being driven by a JVC Pro Logic receiver from the early 90's. I absolutely love my Axioms, and actually have talked 2-3 people at my work into them recently, yippy

You're not gonna believe how much better Axioms would sound than your current speakers!

Have you checked the "Audition Axioms in your Area" thread in the Questions and Answers" Forum? You may be able to find someone close or even in a nearby state, depending on where you live, that would let you listen to Axioms...Randy

Looks like there are three people in Kentucky willing to audition their axioms, however I havent seen any of them on the boards in a long time.
Try giving them a PM and if that doesnt work give Amie at Axiom a call, and she may be able to help.
Heres the link I find auditioneers at

Amie-
I make this suggestion (calling you) to a lot of people.
Is this OK?

Of course you should try to arrange an audition, but it does sound like you may like the Axioms - including the EP500 - for the purposes you describe.
I would recommend buying just the M60s initially (assuming an audition is not possible) to ensure that you like what you're buying. If not return shipping shouldn't be too bad from Kentucky.
BTW, you a bourbon drinker?

Just as easy to email Amie...perhaps easier, than calling. I know she's sent a few people my way for an audition before.

Makers Mark and Woodford Reserve.
Also am wine enthusiast.
I have asked Brent at Axiom for ballpark return charges.
I might try the 60's and 150 center first.

All you Kentucky folk sure like the Makers Mark, huh? I suppose you also look for the 7 drip bottle?
If you ever make it out to California let everybody know - I know some great wineries in the Temecula area and I think those sissies in noCal (y'all know who you are) know a thing or two about their local grape, as well.
