Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo Could i add another m22

I was wondering if I could add another M22 to my set up but I would be getting these for the front b side. I already have a set on my a side.What would be of benfit to this?
I want greater out put put but dont have the cash to buy the M80/60/50/40 is this a goos idea?

I think your question is confusing. Can you rephrase it with some clarity?

Sorry about that bad post! What I am trying to do is add another set of M22ti to my fronts. But will this effect soundstaging? And if i did get the other pair how would i set them up along with the other pair?

This can work to give you more output but it depends on your amplifier. Is your amplifier capable of driving a 4 ohm load? If it is what power does it produce at 8 ohms versus 4 ohms? Further to this do you currently own a sub-woofer? If not, this would be a better next addition to get more from your system. The output from 2 pr of M22s and a sub-woofer will get you in the same range as the M80s. Also, set up of 2pr of identical front channels can be a bit tricky, in fact very difficult to do, without losing imaging and even performance because of the interaction between the two and with the room. I would suggest the sub-woofer option if you have not already done that. If you could post some further information about your system I can see what makes the most sense for you.

I plan on buying rotel power amp to add to my rotel stereo amp rated at 75 watts a side. The power amp add 130 watts to each side and is 4ohm compatible. I already have a Caver sunfire sub.

If I read this correctly, you have a Rotel driving 2 Axioms. You wish to add a second Rotel amp and power 2 more Axioms. Is that correct?

The Rotel is a good amp, and will not have any problem with impedance loads.

I am still confused about what you are trying to accomplish? Are you aiming for 4 channel stereo for music playback? Are you looking for HT capabilites?

I want to add another pair of M22ti to the front for added out put. So that means I will have 2 speakers for the right side and 2 for the left for music.

Well, if that is what you want. I still don't see the logic of doing it. I am guessing you want LOUDER VOLUME LEVELS. You can expand the room coverage, but probably will not expand on sound levels. I say probably because your amp (which you have not mentioned) may be able to drive lower impedance loads. If it can, and you hook the speakers up in parallel, you will get louder volume output. If you do this and it can't drive low impedance, keep the fire extinguisher handy.

If it were my money, I would invest it elsewhere. You have not mentioned you system, other than an amp, and M22's. This could help us.
