Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater 3 way Speaker Face Off

Yes, that's right. It is time for yet another speaker face off. This one is occurring on Saturday and will be the Ascend 170 vs. the M22 vs. the M60. We'll post some results for everyone. I just hope this doesn't make me want to trade in my M22's for M60's!

Why would you want to call this a face off?

I bet it will.

loudspeakers must sound better on the west coast; that's where all the comparisons take place. sure would like to enjoy a new england face off. (loudspeakers of course)

Wasn't suggesting you head out there....just saying you east coast guys have a fair amount of sessions too.

Well, we did it today. It was much more casual this time. I'm not going to get into specific details, they can be seen in prior face off posts. The 60's did not seem so much better then the 22's though, and I actually have less desire to upgrade then I did before. They were certainly better at times, but there were some tracks the 22's were better on.

Surprised to hear that. I thought my M60's outperformed my M22's in every respect.

I guess we know what spliffnme does at 2 in the morning . Don't feel bad, I browse this even later than you.

It was mostly one insturmental CD that Curtis had told JohnnyCasaba about. There was a lot going on with different insturments and the M22 seemed to pick up some of those details a little better then the M60.

We also noticed that the Ascends are more efficent then the M60's, which was similar to what we discovered with them before in comparison to the M22. They 60's and 170's were about 4dB apart.
