Our High Gloss M-80's are hooked into our basement theater, but are being run as a two channel system for now.
So far, I have listened to David Sanborn, Roger Waters, and Fourplay.
My initial thoughts are these speakers are quite a find. (Ok, so a lot of you found them first ... ).
The Soundstage they throw is amazing. The Roger Waters SACD "In the Flesh" is an absolute wonder for discovering a system's soundstage. During the part where "Hal" is talking to "Dave", as in the movie "2001", "Hal" sounded like he was off to my right, in the middle of the room. For a second, I thought I still had a 5 channel system hooked up, but there are only 2 speakers in the system.
For a first day of listening, I am impressed.

When your resident photographer returns, do you think you could cajole her into taking a few photos for us? Unless, that is, you have to hide the doggone things to avoid serious spousal abuse. I suspect that many here, like me, would be interested in seeing what the high gloss black finish looks like.

I have noticed this on many recordings with the M80s.At times it is like there is sound coming from speakers where no speakers exists.It's good to hear you are enjoying your new Axiom toys.

while i am happy with my 60's, i am still curious as to the powers of the 80's. maybe in the far off future i might consider upgrading.. but the 60's will always hold a special place in my heart!!

No he didn't! He's a poop! (I hate it when people answer a question addressed to someone else, but I happen to know that Craig is off with his family, for the weekend, and won't return until tomorrow night, and I didn't want you to think he was being evasive.)
This man who can do so much with audio equipment, who can measure the xmax, or Imax, whatevermax a subwoofer has, hasn't figured out how to operate a camera (he doesn't do much better with a computer, either). So, he must enlist the aid of his better half to take photos. Go figure!

Actually, Thanks to some mentoring from the 2000 year old man, I am getting fairly good at the computer stuff.
In regards to the camera - it is getting the Canon AWAY from her in order to take the pics that is so tough.
If I get time, I am going to buy a new digital for this type of stuff...

I did! I did! What can I say. In my old age I'm resorting to childish epithets.
