302, I was not saying your a troll, but what I said was that maybe you've been hearing things on other forums from trolls. Believe me, I spent years on AVSforum, and was told by many people that Axioms are very bright and harsh, they could not have been the farthest from the truth. The M60's are fabulous speakers with detailed accuracy true to the recording, and killer tight bass. Keep in mind, if the cd your listening to was recorded poorly, the Axiom's will bring those flaws out, that is not the fault of Axiom.

There has to be someone in your part of the US, that can audition some m60's for you. Have you checked the audition forum?

Welcome, I think you and the old man are the first father/son members, that deserves a free EP500.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you 302; I was(heh heh heh)busy talkin with your Dad.

Well, you DO have a head start on the M60 question; you have at least heard the M22s!

From what I gather, the M60s have nearly the same midrange sound as the M22s, but, looking at the graphs for both, there may be a slight difference up around 4K to 5K.

Will it "sound" different,...dunno, but it's a thought.

The big difference, of course is in the bass and perhaps the overall presence of the beast.

A lot of folks are happy with the M60 in medium size rooms, so they may work physically in yours!

As for the cost.....hmmmmm

Now we go from engineering into procurement!

Hey, at least you're gettin' into lookin' around and having fun!

The hunt is sometimes more fun than the kill!
Rich.

That gives me an Idea, If I buy the M60's and someone donates me an EP500 I can move my PSB fronts and sub downstairs. Then I can set up a Linux box to play MP3's.

Just a thought! LOL

Sod that! since this is my thread shouldn't I get the EP500??? I've found a place in Syd that apparantly can audition the PSB's, so if I get time this week I'll wander in....(still have my order in for the Axioms!! Still wanting to add a sub to suit to the order but that EP500 will add ANOTHER A$2K - US$1.5K to the order!)
Thanks
Nathan

shoot, I thought is was my thread now. lol

Is the ep500 1500 USD? I'll need a donation to be able to eat. That costs more than My entire car stereo. Then again, so does my sub.

Peace, try not to let your things control you.

The EP500 is US$1,150 less 10% for FO, less 5% for group shipping, then for me add 15% for Australian Tax/Duty = approx US$1,150 + an additional US$350 or so for shipping to Oz (and thats just for the SUB!). Hence my question of price/performace Vs the PSB's (and I assume other brands with local distributors) that can import in bulk (or mfr locally) potentially making them "comparitivly better value for money".

Trouble is I already want to be an "Axiomite" & I've not even heard the buggers.....Don't you just love this "hobby"!!!!
Thanks
Nathan

You just had to say that, didn't you. 302, you better hurry. 2/17 appears to be D-day around here. Or you could order me a pair from the FO. Then I would be sure to get them by Father's Day. I think a pair of M22s would do fine in the basement. Or you could talk to Tharkun, since he's putting M80s in his garage.

After being without the 80s for 3 months and having them back, talk all you want, they are not leaving here now that I have found a place to use them.

I already said that the M22's are to small for my taste. M60's upstairs after christmas and EP500 for my birthday. Then PSB's downstairs.

Well, I'm about to get a promotion at work so I might be able to afford some of this stuff. I wanted the a DLP to replace my junky RCA but I'm still thinking.

jmone, I see what your saying about wanting to be an axiomite by being on this site. It's got me excited, but I still would need to audition some m60's. According to the list, Winnepeg is the closest. Time for a road trip, I like visiting Canada. This time I better get my birth certificate. Then Me and my girlfriend can go to the bar.

Unless I already affended him.
Peace,
Tom
