Did some speaker research need some advice?

[termin8ted314]

I am currently looking into a new home theater setup. Mostly used for movies and video games. It will be a 5.1 system. Coming from my current polk rm6600 system with a yamaha rxv596 im sure anything would be an upgrade.
I will be pairing the new speakers with a denon 2310ci
My living room is 14.5 x 13.5
The systems i am looking at are. The first 4 systems are based on the companies recommendation after sending them a drawing of my room with measurements.
Aperion 5b fusion sd
NHT absolute 5.1
HSU Enthusiast 2 with upgraded sub
SVS SBS-01 based system
Def Tech procinema 1000 with upgraded center
Possibly an axiom system

Does anyone have any experience with any of these systems? Any benefits to one company of another?

Some good choices on your list. Unfortunately, only your ear will know what you like. Here are my general comments:

Aperion: Great all round speakers and very pretty to boot. Since they pay shipping both ways, no reason not to audition them in home. One note, they are a bit inefficient, but the 2310 should drive them.

Axiom: Great speakers that are a hair on the lean side which I actually like. Not as pretty as the Aperion, but still look good.

NHT: I don't recall hearing the particular speakers you've mentioned.

SVS: Great speakers, but they're a bit too laid back for my taste.

HSU: I didn't like the soundstage on these when I heard them. They're also big speakers for bookshelves.
