Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater loudspeakers with great bass?

I totally agree with Mark and Wid. Your reason for eliminating the sub makes no sense if your reasoning is you want more bass out of the m60's. Are you sure you have your receiver set correct so your M60's are receiving the full frequency? Most people that listen to my m60's with no sub ask "Are you sure you turned off the sub?" Anyway, like Mark, I don't understand your reasoning. You say you want more bass for movies, so if you did infact find some mains that gave you the bass your looking for, it would be no different than a sub in the equation.

You would be better off adding the sub back, and just adjusting the volume to a level that won't disturb the neighbors/wife.

I totally hear what you are saying Mark and Sirquack. i guess I should have just said, the extra subwoofer in terms of looks is what we are trying to get away from. very limited on space and its pretty hard to hide it the way we have things set up now.

i think im just trying to have my cake and eat it too. lol. i miss the sound of my EP500 during heavy bass and such but it was just to big for our living room.

sometimes i just need you guys to set me straight.

I have no experience with any of them, I'm just wondering if one of those 12" cube subs could be tucked away somewhere to give you that half octave? It would certainly be less conspicious than an EP500....

If you want more bass but like a detailed speaker, take a look at the Whafedale Opus line. I’ve had the Opus 2’s in piano black for about six month now. Still don’t know if I like them or my M80’s more, but I think for movies, the Opus would be my preference. For music it really depends on what I’m listening to. The Opus 2’s definitely have more bass than the 80’s, but the 80’s seam to have more mid range punch. The highs are little more laid back on the Opus’s as well. They also make an Opus 3 that has twin 10” drivers verses the 8” drivers in the 2’s. I haven’t heard the 3’s and can’t comment on how they sound. But if they have more bass than the 2’s, I think it would be too much. You can pick up the 2’s for “around” 3K if you can find a dealer state side that carries them. Some dealers have them listed at over 5K, but that’s way too much.

I vastly prefer my M80’s and EP600 over the Opuses. That combo’s pure music bliss………

What do you guys think of adding this sub in with the M60's.

Seems like a decent little sub for a good price. Reviews seem pretty good also.

Thoughts?

How much would it cost for you?

The little x-sub at av123 is quite the performer for $200...and doesn't take much corner space. What size room will this be in?

If the 500 was to big for size/performance in your smaller room, then why not look at one of the other smaller Axiom Subs, then your finish would match your 60's.
