I am currently running B&W 602 (fronts) / 600 (rears) series speakers for my 7.1 Home Theater. I am considering getting the new Axion W22 speakers to replace the B&W's.

Will the Axion's be an upgrade in quality? Would Ascend or Aperion be a bigger upgrade?

Which of the online direct manufactures would give me the best sound (not worrying about cost)?

Thx.
