Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Pioneer Elite VSX-74TXVi

I'm currently saving up for a Pioneer Elite VSX-74TXVi 140 x 7 to upgrade from an Onkyo TX-SR503 75 x 7. It's just 8ohm and that's it. I was wondering which floor-speaker sounds better the M60 or M80. And if the M80 are indeed the better speaker could you point me in the direction of a good 2-channel amp to power them where my receiver isn't 4ohm capable?

How big is your room? The m60's and m80's are very similar. For larger rooms the m80's will play to more insane volumes, but most will find the m60's to be adequate. How do you plan to use the speakers also would help? My m60's fill my 900 sq ft room just fine, although m80's would be nice.

It's just gonna be a medium sized room not even 2500 sq ft at the most. But the one thing I liked about the 80's over the 60's is they have 2 mids and 2 tweeters instead of 1 mid and 1 tweeter. But then again the biggest my room is gonna be at the most would be 2500 sq ft and it wont get nearly the size of that. So I'm wondering even though I like having 2 mids and tweets, would it be too much for the size of my room?

2500 sq ft is a freaking huge room, bigger than my whole basement, which is 2200 sq ft.

I was being funny, Sq Ft is Length X Width, Cubic Feet is Length X Width X Height.

So your living room is 16ft x 12ft = 192 Sq Ft
If you throw in the height into the equation 192 x 8 = 1536 Cubic Ft.

In your other example 20ft x 20ft = 400 Sq Ft.
Adding the height gives you 400 x 10 = 4,000 cubic feet

Hey Polk....first and foremost welcome aboard, secondly I believe you may be confusing square feet with cubic feet. A 20' x 20' room would be 400 sq. ft (room height doesnt come into play) , a 20' x 20' x 10'(h) would be a 4000 cubic ft. room. A 4000 sq. ft room would be the size of a larger house!

Dang Randy...you beat me to the punch!
