Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo New Surrounds Tyler Accoustics

Finally got my new speakers that originally were intended to go downstairs as a music and 2 channel movie system. After hearing them upstairs as surrounds, they are staying!
I can't compare them to any of the Axiom bookshelf's, but there was really no comparison to my Aperions, the soundstaging and imaging on the Taylo Ref's is far superior to the Aperions and the Taylos just literally disappear in the room. The speakers have a toggle on the back that engages a filter that takes the 600-1200hz range down about 3db, for loud listening.
I did line them up against the M80's, and the 80's pretty much trounced them, making me appreciate the 80's that much more. Sorry I'm not as good at making detailed comparisons as many of you are, someday
Last of all the build and finish of these speakers is beautiful, not shown well in my picture.

Made right here in the Bluegrass state. Look'in gooood!

Congrats HomeDad.

Cool.

They look very nice. And BIG.

I like the old console stereo you have in the background. Looks like it's in great condition.

Oh, and the speaker looks great, too!

Nice looking speaker and stand, the console looks to be from the late 60 early 70s ?

Console is a Curtis Mathis, from the mid sixties I believe, my mom bought it new when we were kids, radio and phono still work.

Could not rememeber the CM name. lol

That console looks very much like the one my Parents had in the sixties. I spilled milk in the top opening and the radio stopped working....my Father was not too happy...but two days later, it started working again.

Those are nice lookin' speakers, HomeDad! And not to beat a dead horse, but my parents have an old console too.

LOL! My parents had one in the 70's as well - a "Fleetwood" with a Garrard turntable. We called it the "Hi-Fi". All the pots were loaded with dust it was scratch heaven.

I always thought it would be neat to take one and drop a killer amp & speakers into it.
