If you get these, i would add the axiom center instead of the Definitive one - perhaps it's best to keep all the speakers from a same maker - will sound better. Right now, you can get a good deal on their sub (demo) at the sight. Upgrade cables to ixos 6003 speaker cable at : http://www.accessories4less.com/Amazing/items.asp?CartId=EVEREST-12647763TJYDW39 7&Cc=CAB%2DSPFT&tpc= This is the place for axom speakers: http://www.vertigoonline.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=AMB S667 For $1150, you will be ending up with a pretty good sounding midfi, noticeably better than all in one packages! |
