My video/audio room is 24 ft wide by 26 ft long with 11.5 ft ceiling. I have an Axiom Epic Grand Master 350 set of speakers (6 total) and need a receiver that will complement these speakers. What would you recommend I audition?

Sometimes Less Is Better
If I can get the same results for 5 bills as I would 8 bills, then 5 it is. However, since I have slightly less than 20 bills in the speaker system I want to utilize their capability. I can go higher but the top would be in the 12 range.Comment

In either price range there is much quality audio gear out there-audition , audition , audition. If you can't audition , at least listen to it first!Lee

Audition of Definitive Technology
The 12 bills are $1200. I have arranged to hear Definitive Technology. Would like to compare them with a set of Axioms.Comment

Denon, Yamaha, Marantz and Sherwood-Newcastle would be a good group of receivers to start with..

I think that for $700, the Denon AVR-2106 will be your best bet.Comment

Outlaw, Sherwood Newcastle, Rotel, Yamha, Denon. If possible listen before you buy. Audioreview.com is a good site to check out reviews. Hope this helps.
Peace and blessings,

How come no one recommends HK?
What goes with the HK models 435 and 635? Are they plagued with reliability problems the other don't have? Seems like either of these will work in my set up.Comment

Okay. Have you any plans to audition any of the recommendations? Which one/s?CLIVE

I have made plans with a local Definitive Technology dealer to hear Studio Monitor 350s and anything else he has on the floor. Don't know what brand receivers he has in stock. I would like to get a set of Axiom Epic Grand Masters and listen to them but I don't have anything to drive them. Not having a receiver limits my home listening capabilities. However, I will go and listen to systems within 120 miles of Florence Alabama. My current list of receivers include Pioneer VSX-1015TX 7, NAD 753, and HK 635. This is not a locked in list but rather a starting point. I have eliminated many already based on comments from forum members along with self research.

Nick I am going to say this one here. I see no reason for you to post 1 -2 words in a post just to open another and another to do the same. We are not sure the idea behind this practice but it is annoying. Please post as others do...... would be appreciated :TCLIVE

Anyone out there use Axiom speakers with a Rotel receiver/amp?
My next upgrade is speakers (full 7.1 set up) and have a few brands I am considering:
B&W 603 S3s, LCR 600 S3, DS6 S3
Energy Connoisseur - LCRs across the front and RC-R surrounds/backs

Hi,
Newbie here and planning to save up for my home theater. I got a good deal on the Anthem PVA7 amp from a Montreal dealer that I couldn't pass up (it is an amazing amp for two channel...what a surprise!!). I am thinking of purchasing the AVM20 next year.
The dilemma... -
Hi,
I am considering purchasing the Axiom m80 or Epic 80 Home theater system. Or even the m60.
If anyone has the Axioms and live in either the Montreal/Ottawa area...I would love to hear your set-up.

Ordered last week Epic 60-500 Axiom speakers to go with a Cary Cinema 11 and a Rotel RMB-1075 that I recently purchased. Discovered last evening that the Rotel is going to be too tight of a fit going into a cabinet bay that is 8 inches high. In talking to my Rotel dealer today one replacement choice... -
Hello,
I am looking into purchasing a Rotel 1056 receiver and speakers for my HT. Since Axiom's are only sold over the internet I am nervious about buying them without hearing them. I have heard B&W at a local dealer. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
