Basically talking about $5,000 difference for a monster difference in quality. To get that same difference ABOVE axiom will cost you a heck of a lot more than $5,000 above a good axiom system IMHO.

Frankly, I feel that you could spend more than that to even hear a difference!

Oh and congrats Jonahbug! I bought my Epic 80 sight unheard and was an Axiom family member instantly. It's been about 14 months and I still couldn't be happier. Welcome!

Great post and great story, Jonah. I'm glad you had such a great all-around experience.

Hmm, it's also great that I can't think of a word besides "great" to describe anything.

Jonah,

Great to hear that you have almost discovered acoustic Nirvana. Readers are probably getting sick of me saying this I'm sure but try making an equilateral triangle with you and the M80s. Then try toeing them in so that they point somewhere between a foot behind the back of your head to a foot in front of your nose. This should give you tremendous imaging.

thanks for all the comments. Now for a ridiculous amount of pictures. I still have to tuck away all the cables, and the room is a mess, but you guys can get an idea of the color of the Vermont Maple and my set up.

My equipment consists of:
Sharp Aquos 46'' LCD 1080p
Denon 3806
JVC p.o.s. dvd player
Pure AV surge protector
apple tv (yes, i am calling it a piece of equipment. I love this thing! I ripped all my cd's into the apple lossless and now I listen to my music through the home theater. Easy and sounds great!)

On the with pics.

I love that maple! Nice job. Have you tried moving the M80s further into the room? Also the sub beside the fireplace instead of in the corner?

For your room dimensions, I don't think it will matter. Your Denon can of course provide the correct time delay. I have mine a little further back than the M80s and it sounds great. I'm just curious if moving the 80s further into the room results in a deeper soundstage for you when you are listening to stereo. It may be worth testing out.

the apple tv, i have been wondering if it would be worth buying or not, for video, and audio... im using a benq projector, so image quality is a concern... but a mac mini is only a few hunderd dollars more than the apple tv…..
