Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo large room, small speakers

Hi,

Those are really gorgeous and blend in very well. Thanks for the picture. I'm amazed at how capable the M3s are in your huge room.

While I've never heard our bookshelf models installed in such a big room, it nevertheless doesn't surprise me that they're capable. When I do listening tests at the Axiom room (which is very typical living-room size), I sometimes crank up the speakers under test to see what the power handling is like and when the blind tests are over, I'm astonished to discover that what I was listening to was M22s or M3s with no subwoofer playing at volume levels that are way above the norm. Power handling has always been a major design criterion for Ian when he designs the Axiom speakers.

Regards,

Alan
