Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo Axiom M60ti's relative to B&W 704's

I do believe Alan has said this in a reply or two.

PM sent to you.

the "they play louder" statement was all I needed...."that will be a Visa, number....." done deal.

Damn I love these speakers......they're pumping away, two levels up in the house about 60 feet away from me, and it feels as if they're only five feet away. only way I could hear my phone right now is if it were in my pocket on vibe...

Enjoy man, I wish I could crank up my system right now, just don't think the wife, two boys, and our dog would appreciate it

you just gotta do it then they aren't there. i finally got the chance/nerve to crank up my 60s to 0db on the Denon 3805 listening to "Sultans of Swing". WOW! not only could i feel it in my chest i thought my face was gonna melt (kinda like the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark. ). and it wasn't harsh or bright or any of that crap that you hear naysayers uhhh saying about Axioms. it was pure auditory bliss!! (the dog didn't think so, he started off lying down in front of the 350 and hightailed it out of the room on the first guitar chord! )

I’m listening to “The Jealous Sound” right now. I bought this CD about two weeks ago and can’t stop listening to it. Great recording, good vocals that actually tell a story, great separation of different instruments…. I’m loving it….

I don’t really know what Genre it is, but I like it. Maybe a mix between Alt rock and ??? no clue….kinda mellow, but fast at the same time. The cymbal taps and crashes are just too friggin cool.

Try the same volume level with Dire Straits' "Private Investigation". mwc turned me onto that recording. Even though there's some audible tape hiss, that's a great track to give your speakers a workout.

hmm don't have that one. i guess i'll have to pick that up when i get off work in the morning. plus i've heard that the new Robert Plant album is really good. has anyone here got it, and if so how is it??

Yes, this is a fantastic recording for its age. This recording has great dynamics and a rich 3D soundstage. Don't let the tape hiss deter you. It is audible at first but not overbearing. It seems to diminish significantly at about one minute into the song.

AshB: (re: Robert Plant)
Go to aol.com and do an artist search for Robert Plant. I found a recent "sessions" @aol.com that has the Sony studio live videos of three new songs plus some older Led Zep songs. You will get a good idea what the new songs are like. The new band is really good! I am planning on purchasing the cd this weekend. Can't wait to hear the whole cd.
Cheers,
