Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions m80, large or small?

Chris, when you have a good sub such as you do, all speakers are "small", even ones physically large as the M80. The point is that although the speaker may handle the bass reasonably well, a good sub does it even better and the speaker should be relieved of the lowest bass burden(no large or "plus" setting which forces it to play full range)so that it can play the higher frequencies more cleanly.

Yes, the so-called "biamping" claimed by some receivers accomplishes nothing. Using two output channels from the same amplifier instead of one isn't biamping. It might be called "bi-channeling" or something, but still is drawing voltage from the one power supply section and no increase in power is possible.
