<font color='#000000'>I would like to throw a twist in here. I was sold on B&W and Monitor Audio. Did not have the money to spend, but I did love the sound. Thinking back to my younger years, I loved MB Quart car audio & found that I could get a great deal on their home speakers from Yawa. Now I am not one to advertise, but these speakers sound as good, if not better for a fraction of the cost. Also, not as much power is needed to reach the same db due to the fact that these speakers are 4ohm. They will let you try them for 30 days risk free, and if you do not like, you will not be stuck with sending them back to Canada!(Axiom) I would hate to see that bill! Also, you get the FULL 5 year warranty!</font>
