Hello Axiom Forum,
I have seen many people on this forum, all with great advice. Would like to have as many people respond as possible with feed back.
Problem? I want the best Home Theater money can buy with out breaking the bank.
Goal. I want the best mid's and high's that I can get and have bass big enough to punch me in the stomach. Ok I am a Car Audio guy that loved his JL Audio system but doesnt have a system anymore because his wife made him get rid of it and now all I have is a small section of the basement that I can have my own HT room.
I want to have a $30,000 system and only spend $3500 on speakers.
I have seen the AXIOM's site many times over the past 4 years and always was waiting for the bigger systems to be rated. Now that they have had a review, there at my top list again.
3 Systems That I was picking
1. Definitive Tech. BP7002, BPX, CLR2500 7.1 system $$$$$
2. AXIOMS Epic 60-500 7.1 system $$$
3. JBL Studio L series L880, L820, LC2, L8400P $$
I was going to spend over $5000 on Def Tech BP7002's with the BPX rears and CRL 2500. But my problem is that $5000 is alot of money at this time. I was reading reviews and I seen with this system that 98% people still end up getting a seperate sub. ????? OK I am a little lost hear I thought that if you have built in subs that you wouldn't need a extra sub. !!!! TO ME...WASTE OF MONEY !!!! OK enough of that.
I just bought a receiver for only $950 retail $1299 plus tax. Its and Integra 7.8 130x7 at 8 ohms. I want the M80s but cant because of the Ohm's Law. Was going to get the M60's because there compared to the B&W 703's which come on who is going to spend over $2500 on one speaker besides the JONES. I have heard the BW's 703's a couple of years ago and they were great but was again out of my range. Thats why I think the AXIOMS Epic 60-500 7.1 system would be a good pick for me Or does everyone think I should take back the Integra and get a receiver that is able to handle the 4 ohms. If I do this it would increase my cost by at least $400 which I don't really want to do because I like the Integra and it got alot of great reviews.
Room size the HT is going in. Cost $2000.
W 15' D 19' H 7' this room is not done yet and I have a goal to get it done by the end of the year. I am doing 2x4 frame then a 1 inch space then a 2x4 frame to do a little sound proofing. Then do 2 layers of 5/8 inch drywall. Sound board I heard was a waste of money.
For now the system is going to be in a spare bedroom 12x14.
TV 65" DLP 1080p Mitsubishi
Blue ray DVD Pioneer on the way True HD.
Have plained to get a JVC projector thats $5500
It cost alot to have a nice HT but I want to have a great deal at the same time and the only reason that I haven't got the Def Techs is because the sales person is a good friend of mine, and the store has a sell every year that they take 20 % off in Nov. So while I was waiting, I wanted to make sure 100 % that I got the most bang for the buck that why the Axioms are starting to be the best pick.
THANKS TO THE AXIOM FORUM FOR LETTING ME POST
thanks again to all that respond
