I am only going on what I read in the review link on the Outlaw main page. The review said that you have to have a high bandwidth connection for HDTV. Then the review of the 950 shows a high bandwidth connection for HDTV. I have no experience with this technology so I can't offer any reason why this is necessary. I would invest in a 1050 if it will support the HD requirements(although it may not support surround ex and other new formats either it seems) then upgrade later. I just don't want to spend $2000 now on a 1050 with Axioms and be forced to start over in a year. Thus the question is actually two fold, one will the 1050 work for HDTV and decode the newer formats, and two, if I can safely start with a 1050 then upgrade to a 950/770 later, do I need to look at more expensive speakers than Axiom offers. The Axiom question stems from their forum where a guy asks about picking up a pair of used Studio 20s for $500 or buying Axiom and the people there unaminously said that they would go with the Paradigms in a heartbeat as they are much better speakers that just cost more. This makes me nervous about the entire line. If the people who generally support the product don't think they compare to entry level References then I am concerned. I can get cheap speakers at Best Buy but I want quality. So if Axiom is the Outlaw of the speaker world then I am all for them but if the are part of the get what you pay for addage then I'd rather invest if something better. Therefore, please give me guidance oh wise one(s). Help a guy out who really doesn't know what he is doing but wants to do it right.

Thanks
