Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo M2 vs. M3 first impressions (CAGE MATCH !!)

>>I'm in a small room myself (10x10) and know that bass is tough to tame in my space.

I imagine a 10x10 room would be pretty good for M3s... you should get a nice big boost at 55 Hz which would fit in nicely with the bass roll-off. The 110 Hz mode wouldn't be so nice though... I guess putting the fronts 2-1/2 feet away from a side wall or back wall might tame that a bit.

I found the distance from the wall made a big difference with both M3 and M60, almost like a "bass control". M3s sounded a bit weak in the bass unless I had them ~12 inches from the wall, while M60s sounded boomy at that distance and had to be more like 18" away from the wall.

Again, this is in a wide room with no reinforcement from the side walls.
