Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Epic 60 / 500 or Epic 80 / 350

Thanks for all the responses. I'll make a decision after hearing the M80's this weekend

I'm in Canada so I'm not sure 6ave ships here... will have to look. My present system is a hodgepodge of garbage that isn't worth discussing. This is my first foray into true home theatre, although I've always been somewhat of an audiophile. And nothing will be as loud as the 1500watts in my car

I'm kind of in the same boat, except i'm only looking at the floor standers.

JC, from Axiom, said the 60's would be perfect for me (1980 cubic feet, Denon 2307ci, primarily movie use).

Being me, I want the best. But If I can save $300 +, that would be great. I don't have a sacd or dvd-a player, so i'm thinking I won't really notice the improvement in detail in home theater use (i do have a ps3 for blu-ray movies).

sorry to hijack.

I think with the BR HD audio tracks the detail may be missed, not that the M60s really lack detail you just have to play them louder to hear it, or so I noticed in my experiments with the M60/M80.

I ended up with the Epic 80 / 500 and a Denon 3808. Picked it up for $1298 CDN at Soundsaround. Not a bad price.

So much for my budget though

Thanks for the demo, Jason!

C$1300 is pretty good. Hard to get that price? They have much stock?
Hoping to get to Cowtown this year (alternator allegedly on it's way).

Good call, the exact system and receiver I have (and was over my original budget as well).

You won't regret it!

Heh... gotta wonder if anyone comes here and actually sticks to their budget.

Budgets are for chumps!

I didn't even need speakers when I came here. Now I'm in for about $3k!

Thats probably why axiom hasn't minded giving away some stuff to the "shareholder in the making" peeps. If you think about how much stuff you have convinced people to buy beyond their budget in 10,000 posts I am sure that it works to their advantage

Hehe, same here. Was budgeting for M60's and QS4's... Well, that worked out well!
