<font color='#000000'>I'm considering the following systems:

Axiom Epic Grand Master
Fronts   : M22ti
Surrounds: QS-8
Center   : VP100
Subwoofer: EP 175

Atlantic Technology System 170
Fronts   : 171 LR
Surrounds: 174 SR
Center   : 173 C
Subwoofer: 172 PBM

Paradigm System Three.3
Fronts   : Phantom
Surrounds: ADP-170
Center   : CC-270
Subwoofer: PDR-10

Any suggestions among these three?  Any others I should consider?

Thanks in advance!</font>

<font color='#000000'>I really love Monitor Audio's offerings at that price. &nbsp;You might try:

2 pairs Bronze B2's @ $299/pr
1 Bronze Center @ $249

Sub- Hsu Research VTF-2 @ $500.

This would be a rock solid combo for about $1300, maybe even a couple hundred bucks less, &quot;street.&quot; &nbsp;It'll deliver the goods with MC music, Stereo and HT.

Don't take my word for it: &nbsp;TAS really raved up the Bronzes, listing them as a Recommended Component. &nbsp;And the Hsu has racked up a lot of great reviews as well.

Add a nice Denon reciever (or whatever you're planning on using) and voile- instant HT bliss!

<font color='#000000'>My suggestions are a total PSB system.

Up Front: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Pair - Image 4T
In the Center: &nbsp;One - Image 8C
Surrounds: &nbsp; &nbsp; Pair - Image 1B
The Sub: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; One - Image SubSonic 5


Of the Axiom list that you generated, ditch the sub. I auditioned it and comes no where close to the PSB Subsonic 5 &nbsp;that I own. &nbsp;
