Has anyone heard the Axioms with the RX-V2400 receiver? Going through their website, and using their recommendation from the Home Theater Wizard it says to get the following.
Front M3 Center VP100 Surround QS4 Sub EP175 Rear Surround QS4
These will come to a little over $1500.00, which is my limit on speakers.
While the M3ti is a great little bookshelf speaker, specially good if you're listening almost exclusively to home theater in a smaller room, I'd still consider forgoing the sub for now and getting a pair of floorstanding M80 or M60tis. Buy the sub later and use the bass management to let the floorstanders handle the bass for now. You will still have something to look forward to in a year or few months or whenever you decide to add a sub, in the meanwhile the floorstanders will really rock.
nice set-up, but I haven't heard it on a Yamaha. Does not hold up well to a big room, though. But if you used the Axiom HT wizard, you've probably taken that into account. Should be perfect in a small room. cheers
