Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo thanks everyone!!!

I'd like to thank everyone on the forum for all your help over the past couple of months. Looks like the transformation has begun on my new HT setup. I just finished purchasing a set of demo M60tis. They were a steal @ www.canadianhifi.com I dealt with Dylan & Rob who were great. Speakers arrived yesterday and, despite being demos, were flawless (I almost wondered if they sent me brand new by mistake). They have a bunch of other models they're clearing out too.

All I can say is WOW! Vast improvement over my old JBL floorstanders. Everything sounds so 'accurate'. Unbelievably clean. I used to listen to all my 2 channel music with the sub on, but I could easily get used to it without. I'm going to have to take this week off work. I've got 400+ cds I need to experience all over again!

Looks like the next project is to upgrade from the receiver (maybe next month or 2). I was planning on a Anthem MCA50 to power, but I'm going to try a few different options on a pre/pro. I'm going to do comparisons between a Rotel RSP1066 (or 1055), NAD T752, and something budget, maybe a Yamaha RXV-630 or Marantz 4300 or Pioneer 712. Should be interesting and I'm looking forward to hearing the difference!

Sorry about the long post everyone, I just wanted to share my happiness with everyone on the forum.

Thanks again
Scott

which JBL speakers did you have before. You sound almost like me when i got my axioms. swicthing from my JBL nd310's

they were HLS 820s. About 3-1/2 y.o. Served me pretty well for my first dive into HT. How long ago did you make the switch?

8 months and id never go back. no way.

agreed, whole-heartedly!!!! I think I've listened to Hotel California about 10 times already. What a great sound!

That reminds me of a time in high school when some classmates and I were filming a video for a German class assignment. We used Hotel California for the soundtrack. Being amateur actors, we had many, many takes -- so we ended up putting the song on repeat.

I vowed never to listen to the song again after that day. Somehow I wasn't able to keep that promise.
