M80s?


Wid,
What's an em8ty? Oh, It's an explosive bigger than a cherry bomb, I remember from childhood.... But we digress, we were discussing the most amazing piece of speaker technology that is Axiom's flagship: ... wait for it...

The M 6 0

small side note: Axiom does have an SUV size version of their ground breaking M60. It does not get very much attention, but if you dig deep into their website, you may find a reference to an M80. It is a fuel guzzling version of their flagship M60. Like Spinal Tap where the guy bragged his amp went to "11", some just gotta have bigger. (tongue planted firmly in cheek)
M80 owners... "Put the flame thrower down. Nothing to see here, move along!" ... consider gasoline sprayed on the fire...

M80's rocked back then, and they rock today. \:\) Rick, don't try to force the boy to the dark side.... He needs to learn with m60's first to become master. \:\)

I will have to agree with you there, SirQ. This process has definitely been a learning, growing and spending one. Maybe one day The Force will guide me bigger and better. I may already have driven my wife out of this room while I play movies. I tend, well not tend, always like to hear and feel movies at levels she does not usually care for. With the current budget and WAF, this 90 watts and M60's will likely last me until she loses her hearing. Now if my 1909 would play earphones (at a lower level for her), while the speakers sing, that might be a solution. I will try putting my headphones on her (not plugged in) to dampen the sound. I will find a work around. Maybe ear plugs. ;o)

You M80 folks are OK.... and gosh darn it, people like you!

PS. Reminds me. When the heck will Coleman concede his loss and Senator Al Franken can get to work.

Exactly between moderate and excessive there’s sophistication.
Translation:
Precisely between the M3’s mob and the M80’s posse there’s the M50’s league of extraordinary gentleman!

Based on fact that the M80's are 4ohm as apposed to the M60's 8ohm, wouldn't that mean the the m80's are much more fuel effecient than the M60's. They need a much more stable engine but don't need near the same power to drive them.

The M80's are more like a Hybrid, I guess.

Its just a case of repressed M80 envy. It will go away as soon as he realizes he cant settle for anything less than the best. ;\)
