OK, so I have the Axiom M22/VP100/QS8 speaker set. I ordered a Denon AVR 1083 to complete my HT. I thought I was all set. Slowly, but surely it dawned on me that this didn't sound so great. So, I got rid of the Denon, went back to the old Yamaha receiver, and this, while better, still wasn't what I wanted to hear. I have spent a couple years putting this together and it feels like it's all crashing and burning. I am getting a bit frustrated about all this, I'm thinking maybe that modern HT just isn't for me. I might just sell everything and go back to listening to the radio. Just think, it would clear up room in the living room, and I could listen to the TV speakers, just like in the old days.
