Re: SVS/Axiom
Either should do fine in a room that size and sound great. The Axioms being a bit brighter than the SVSs, IMO. In terms of "smaller" subs, the SVS is likely to be the better of the two (PB-10) and the package is almost worth it for the sub alone. Neither is significantly better than the other, but they won't quite sound similar to each other either. A plus in the Axiom's favor might be choice of finish, if that is a factor.

Re: SVS/Axiom
What I like about the SVS system is the fact of having identical speakers all the way around. This will give you a seamless HT experience. When I auditioned this system I was amazed at the impact of this system.

Re: SVS/Axiom
I personally prefer a monopole surround, but I listen to a lot of multichannel music. If your room supports bi/dipole surrounds (meaning rear wall in close enough proximity, side walls on both sides), then they could work for you as well - my current room isn't quite right for them due to an opening on the right rear.
