I currently do not own any axiom products, but from all the research that I've been doing in the past 6 months, I am now VERY interested in a pair of the new M80v3. My question is, has anyone tried these speakers with tube amps. Majority of M80 owner have big solid state amps and/or home theater applications. I am an audiophile with a very straight forward set up. My current equipments is a Melody EL34 tube amp, Marantz CD player, Voo Doo power cables and Tara lab speaker and RCA cables pushing a pair of Mirage OMD 28. The reason why I want to replace this speakers is because I've been listening to my friends setup that producted sounds that was more detailed, clean and a larger sound stage. I firmly believe with todays technologies and world markets, we can get great products producting great quality sounds without the great prices. My friend firmly does not believe it is possible. I want to prove him wrong and I think Axiom fits my philosophy.
