Hey guys, bigjohn went to WORK today! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! I'll bet they're getting good value from you today - not!

Regarding the loudness issue, you will likely have no long term concerns. Your receiver will have plenty of power. Not only that, but also the *perceived* loudness of the CV's was greater because of all that bloated bass they were producing. The Axiom bass is tighter, flatter and more accurate, so you'll likely not perceive them as being as Loud. I forget - do you have a sub?

So, you've had possession of the speakers for over 14 hours now, and we still have no pictures? I thought you liked us. Sniff.

I'm excited for ya, bigjohn. Thanks for sharing your experience.
