I am starting to set up my basement HT system and was torn between bringing my current system (in the family room) down stairs OR building from scratch. After much debate, I have decided to hook the basement up the right way. I plan on dedicating about US $5,000 into the system, which would include projector/ amp/ pre-pro and speakers. I was considering the axiom speakers but wanted to get any feedback from folks in here that have used (or demoed) them. I was thinking of going with an amp along the lines of parasound.

thx
