Ok guys, I recently got my Axiom system. I got the M50ti towers, QS4 surrounds, VP100 Center, and EP 175 Sub which I have all ready decided to upgrade and go with the EP 350.

My question now is, which is the next upgrade I should make while im still in my 30 day try out phase with Axiom. I was thinking of upgrading the M50t towers to the M60t's but brent at axiom told me that after the Sub the next most improtant upgrade would be the center speaker.

What are your guys thoughts.

By the way, I love my new system. I watched Saving Private Ryan the other day and was blown away. The reason I upgraded the sub was because I was able to hear a little rattle of the driver on the scene in I-robot when those big vehicles are comming out in the tunnel.

Thanks for any help.

P.S. I will post pics tommorow after my new sub gets here.

By the way, I dont listen to any music on my system. This is a Home Theater system only. Just thought I should tell you so you can make a better judgement in what I should upgrade to. Thanks

You may want to give it more than an hour and a half...

Patience, patience. Not everyone is around all the time, so it might take a few hours to get a response or two.

You seem to be satisfied with your system right now, other than the sub which you are planning to upgrade anyway. You don't necessarily need to upgrade anything else. If you can't resist scratching the upgrade itch, then your room size has a lot to do with what you should try next. How big is the room your speakers are in?

Well, what are the options here?

1. M50 to M60
2. VP100 to VP150
3. QS4 to QS8

Are those the choices, or are there other things you are considering?

I have only heard my Axiom system, so I can't really give you more than hearsay. Sorry.

Personally, I went with the QS8's because I never wanted to wonder "what if?" and because I thought I would appreciate their slightly lower bass extension. I do not regret my choice, although I do not have the benefit of having compared them to the QS4's.

For HT ONLY (what is your music system like?), I don't think you would find much benefit in option #1. I do wonder about those that seem to have difficulty properly placing a VP150, so if you are currently "satisfied" with the center channel, I might not mess with it.

Hey Tom.

I dont listen to music much so that why I said its just for home theater. I didnt mean to imply that I have a different set just for music.

As for my question. I was just asking for home theater purposes, with my room size and my current system what the most important upgrade would be if you had to upgrade. I have already upgraded the sub, so besides that which would be next?

I can hear the VP100 just wanted to know what the difference would be if I went with the 150. Would it just be louder or would it be clearer?

Sorry for all the questions. Im new at this.

Instead of starting a new thread I figure I will just ask this here. I have my M50 towers set at Large on my reciever and the center and surrounds set at small. I have heard a few people set there towers at small also. Is there any benefit to this? Thanks
