Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Replacement Receiver/Separates...Advise Needed!

HI, THIS IS MY FIRST TIME IN POSTING SOMETHING ON THIS WEB SITE. I CURRENTLY PURCHASED 3 SINGLE M 80Ti's. I AM EXTREMELY BLOWN AWAY HOW GREAT THESE SPEAKERS ARE. I HAD B&W6025'S SERIES 2 WHICH WHERE DESTROYED IN JULY 17/05 BY LIGHTING. THEY HAD INTERNAL SUBS AND THE COST REPLACING THEM MADE MORE SENSE. I HAVE ALWAYS PURCHASE HIGH QUALITY PRODUCTS PUT THROUGH THE YEARS OF ME UPGRADING AV EQUIPMENT I QUICKLY LEARNED THERE ARE OUTSTANDING PRODUCTS OUT THERE THAT ARE A SUBSTANTIAL CHEAPER THEN HIGHER PRICED PRODUCTS. MY FIRST ADVICE TO YOU IS THAT YOU HAVE DO RESEARCH AND DO CRITICAL LISTENING ON PRODUCTS.SO FOR ME TO REPLACE MY B&W WAS HARD BUT I TOOK THE PLUNGE AND I VERY HAPPY WITH THE QUALITY OF PRODUCT. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A RECIEVER I RECOMMEND ONE THING KNOW BODY TELLS YOU! PURCHASE ANY RECIEVER YOU CAN AFFORD BUT IT MUST HAVE ALL CHANNELS PRE-OUTS ON IT. WHAT THIS DOE'S FOR YOU IT LETS YOU START OF WITH A EASIER SETUP AND COST EFFECTIVE FOR YOU TO START OFF. THE PRE-OUTS WILL ALLOW YOU TO ADD A 5 OR 7 CHANNEL AMP IN THE FUTURE AND THIS IS A MAJOR UPGRADE PATH FOR YOU.WHEN YOU UPGRADE WITH SEPERATE AMPS THE DYNAMICS AND THE PRESENCE OF SOUND IN WAY BETTER. PURCHASE A RECIEVER WITH 6 OR 8 CHANNEL PRE-OUT FOR FUTURE UPGRADING. PIONEER HAS A GREAT MODEL AT $600.00 WITH THIS FEATURE. I PERSONNALLY AM A DENON GUY BUT WHEN I FIRST STARTED I HAD A YAMAHA 3090 THEN UPGRADE IT WITH A 5 CHANNEL BRYSTON AMP AND IT SOUNDED AWESOME. I HAD THIS UNIT FOR 5 YEARS THEN SOLD IT TO A FRIEND.THIS UNIT WAS JUST DOLBY DIGITAL NO DTS THATS WHY I CHANGED THE UNIT. ACTUALLY TO THIS DAY SOME OF MY MUSIC DVD'S NEVER SOUNDED BETTER THEN WITH THE YAMAHA PROCESSING.BUY ANYTHING YOU WANT DON'T LISTEN TO THESE SO CALLED SALE GUYS. BUY SOMETHING YOU WILL KNOW TO USE WITH A LEARNING REMOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT. ONE REMOTE SHOULD CONTROL YOUR SYSTEM. JUST TAKE THE TIME TO PROGRAM THE LEARNING FEATURES.WHEN YOU BUY SOMETHING PURCHASE THE EXTRA WARRANT.THE YAMAHA I HAD A 6 YEAR WARRANY FOR $150.00 AND IN THE 5 YEAR THE MOTORIZED VOLUME BROKE DOWN. WITH IN ONE WEEK I HAD THE UNIT WORKING 100% .IT WORTH IT.I HOPE THIS HELPS.
