Hi, I'm busylistening.

This is my first post and might also be my last because I am the proud new parent of a VP150, twin M80s and quadruplet QS8s!

I currently have them rooming with a Pioneer Elite vsx-94txh and an Epik Tower sub and they are AMAZING!!! =D

Just wanted to say I'm very pleased that I went with Axiom Audio!

Welcome to the club Busy!

I think you'll find the people on this site to be just as fantastic as the speakers themselves!

Biz, welcome. Enjoy the sound, and hope to hear from you at least occasionally.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Welcome Busy,

We'd love to hear what you think of your new speakers so just turn them up loud enough that the music drowns out the clicking of the keyboard as you fill us in.

So, the 94 has no troubles with the M80s? I ask as I have a 94 and am thinking M80s

This system is unbelievable. The main reason I posted was because similar posts helped me when I was doing my research. Hopefully, I can return the favor, somewhat.

I have had NO trouble with the 94 driving the M80s as of yet. I originally emailed one of the experts here with the same query and was advised against it. However, I'm glad I made the decision that I did. I was ready to purchase another amp to drive the front two channels, if needed, but so far I don't think I will.

Oh, btw, the only reason I'm able to post is because I'm at work. My "children" are at home getting their rest for another 2 hours \:D

p.s. Rick, I'm a dude. But I would LOVE to meet a woman who would purchase an Epik Tower, lol

Just curious, have you had it at say 0 db (ref) for a whole disc?

Good question.

No, I have not. Right around -10 is about all I can stand (at most). I think I may have had it around -6 before. No way I could listen at 0 for an entire disc. Some discs I can't get any higher than -15.

Ooooh, he came up for air! I don't think the scale on any given receiver means anything. I am running between 35 and 50 on my Sherwood.

Depending on the disc, 50 is anywhere between 75 and 85 db. I would have to say that 75 db is 'reference' for me since that is my preferred listening levels most days.

Fred - agreed. I asked this question earlier and was informed by the more knowledgeable folks here there is no consistency across receivers for volume levels. Check the link for more info if you're interested.

cool, didn't know that. thanks for the link.

I don't own a SPL meter, so I guess I cannot yet correctly answer mapatton's question.

Even without the SPL, I think your answer still stands. There's no way most of us could listen at 0 db on any of our receivers for an entire disc... I'm pretty sure that would be inviting hearing loss at worst or a headache at best.

I do have one cd that was recorded very soft and I have to have the 3808 above 0 to get to 80db!!! I think it is of my classical discs, I can't remember I haven't played it much as I stream most of the music now.

Wow... I'd hate to be in the room when you changed sources or popped in a new disc at that setting. ouch!

Yeah, that's one where you'd want to be really careful to change the volume level before you shut down the system...

The 3808 actually has an option to always start at the same level, or to start it at the last volume played... making the wrong choice after a listening session like that could give someone else in the house a heart attack if they turned on the TV after you'd left it at 0 dB.

I'm imagining the look on my wife's face if that happened to her.... I don't think I'd hear the end of it for a long time! ;\)

Many thanks. The db ref is OK as we are comparing the exact same AVR. I listen loud at times. So yes, at times the vol is above 100db nominal.

Like right now. I am working in my office which is 2 rooms away and listening to Hillsong Potters Hand and can feel it in here \:\)
Still haven;t found the SPL meter after the move.

It was probably unpacked but vibrated its way out the back door during one of those loud listening sessions.
