I was thinking of going with Axiom 60Mti with a vp150 center and some QS8's for surrounds. I'm open to suggestions to recommendations for which sub to go with this. It sounds like from reading here that you can get a better sub than axiom offers for less money. I stopped by the local store and they had a Definitive tech 2006 base setup that he said he would sell as a demo for $1,700. I was wondering how these two compare and whether the def techs are worth buying at that price. I will probably use the system (60%HT/40%music) I only heard the def techs with HT and have heard they are not as good with music. I just bought an open box HK AVR630 from onecall for $645 shipped. The room is 15' by 35'. I listened to some Klipsch rf25's today and they sounded a bit harsh or bright if you ask me. What do you guys think? |
