this coming from the guy who reallllly loves the speakers! Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, know what i mean, say no more!

Question to Mark,

Does the pink elephant loose any weight after all that spot dancing?

I don't know what you're talking about. You're not seeing pink elephants, are you?

Seriously, if he ever did, I'd join 'em!

Yes, this is a great board. Nobody gets pissed if you don't like Axioms (unless you're rude - this has nothing to do w/ speakers, just common courtesy), most recognize there are other good speaker companies out there (no 'Axiom is IT, everything else sucks' attitude), lots of helpful people, including bonafide experts in the field.

I usually just read, because I know next to squat when it comes to speakers - but I hope you find the speakers you like, sound-wise and look-wise.

Apd, aside from the fact we apparently have you completely fooled about being friendly , there is some opportunity for recievers to be had.

You can. check ecost for Denon refurb (authorized etailer with a pretty good track record) and pick up a Denon 2105/2805/3805 for a good discount. HK also has their own online store for their refurb equipment. As you might expect, the offerings come and go based on the available inventory.

Don't know what to tell you about Yamaha, Onkyo, etc. opportunities.

Since you are looking for suggestions I think you can't go wrong with a Denon 2805/985. It has more than enough power for M60s and has more inputs than you'll ever need.

The first weekend I bought it, we watched movies at -15db. Friends came over and we were mixing -10db to -5db for several hours and the receiver was barely warm! Now those are some efficient speakers. Awesome combo IMO

Of course you can't go wrong with an HK, Yamaha, Pioneer either. Focus on features and price.

I have M60ti, VP150 and 4 Qs8s. I just moved them down to the basement last night (22x15x8). I am using HK (AVR335) and I love it... love it a lott!! The hk is 55 watts and my first thought was it would be weak for the speakers... but upong testing last night... the amp just handled them perfectly. The low freq is also good... clarity was awesome watching the eagles... can't be any happier.

Before getting the m60ti, i auditioned paradigm... and I wasn't solved. The sound details wasn't that complete for me.

Onkyo - J&R had some good prices on refurbs a couple weeks ago ($400 for the 702).

AP, you should be delighted with the M60s. As far as the receiver, what might be the best deal in your price range is the HK635 on sale here for $680 with free shipping.
