Upgrading from Klipsch to Axiom

[genesis471]

Hi, so after plenty of reading I have decided to upgrade to Axiom M60's, the VP150 center, and QS8 surrounds. I have a nice M&K sub I will use with the setup.
From Axiom owners out there, am I going to have a 'wow' factor with these? I am upgrading from Klipsch speakers that I bought in '97, synergy equivelents.. I don't remember what they called them back then.
I'm running the stuff off of a Denon 3805 & Denon 3910.
I have went out and listened to plenty of brands of speakers. Hard to know if I'm really going to like them in my house. I like Axiom's deal because if I don't like them, I can return them with minimal expense.
Bottom line is, am I going to sh*t myself? I hope so!

Opinions please

Mike

Just don't make the same mistake I made and not calibrate them and put on an old poor recording and expect to be blown away.

They accurately reproduce the recording ... awesome if its a good recording, but it doesn't colour bad recordings ... so its a garbage in, garbage out situation with poor quality recordings.

Took me about a week to retrain my listening, but now I love them.

I second that.
