Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners m60/80 with Denon 3808

I noticed that my manual was full of double negatives. I had to re-write sections of it out to understand what Denon was trying to say .

The part describing the importance of connecting - (negative) to - (negative) and + (negative negative) to + (negative negative) must have been really confusing.

LOL.

How are the highs on the m80 with the 2 titanium tweeters? Does it ever get too harsh? I'll be pairing these with the VP100 (because of it's size). How will the m60/80 match this center?

Also, a question about subs. I notice the EP350 is the only sub listed as not having Balanced Line In and Out. What does this mean and how does it effect the sound?

Thanks.

Harshness will depend on the quality of music recordings you have, as well as listening environment. Both m60s/80's would work fine tone wise with the vp100.

I think most of use unbalanced anyway, so no worries.

RJ, a balanced connection has an inherent ability to cancel out interference impinging on it, but the more common shielded coaxial cable connection has no problem with interference in the vast majority of home environments, so there should be no difference in sound.

The material used for tweeter domes is just one factor in the sound quality. Any tweeter can be made to sound either dull or harsh through the design of the crossover network, regardless of how "soft" it is. Metal tweeters don't have to sound "metallic" and the Axioms don't.

I have some cd's that never sound harsh and some only at high volumes while others I really look forward to the remasters and hope it helps them. The speakers are just accurate and the twin mids and tweeters help bring the upper mid and highs more to the front.
