Hey All
It's great to hear from everyone.
PeterT - The 7125 is looking real good to me. I've read the review, thanks for the link, and feel this would provide me with the solution I seek. XenonMan, yes, the QS8's are amazing, they were my first purchase from Axiom. I've never heard better surrounds, period! Being able to afford another pair, with a 7125, is just icing on the cake.
Sirquack, nice to see you here too! We are both on the same quest. Either the 7125 or the 7200 would put a smile on my face. In your case, since your HT room is a 1,000 cubic feet larger, I'd be leaning toward the 7200, IMHO. Like you I'll be changing my AVR for a pre/pro and I'm interested in Outlaw's planned 978 also, but that won't be for another year for me...damned upgradist
I'm still toying with a couple Brystons but there are some minor issues within my setup that make me lean toward the Outlaw's. I'll be ready to purchase soon and $$$ for $$$ I'm confident that both you or I needn't look any further!
