Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Anybody using an M60 as a center?

She may miss the WOW with the M80s compared to the M22s in your smaller room, my wife did Her only comment was that they sounded better than the M60s when compared to the crispness of the M22.

I am going to go out on a limb and say spend your money else where and a 7.1 setup may not even give you more WOW factor. maybe increasing the subwoofer abilities would give you more WOW.

I think my sub is doing a fine job, I just find my front a little bit thin. I'm also puzzled to find how the m80 sounds when you know how good the m22 is.

Then you will like the M80s they add that little bit of upper bass that the sub + M22 seems to not have, well not as well as the M80s+sub. I did find adding a better sub helped out more than I would have thought to the equation. Once I added my PB13 Ultra and tried the M22s with it I was very surprised at just how close the M22+sub is to the M80s + sub. I still prefer the M80+sub but I am willing to bet your wife won't be wowed by the M80s unless SHE is noticing the lack of upper bass, which I am reasonably sure could be nearly rectified with a more stout performing sub.

Yeah, the 80s are an improvement, and will fill out that thinness, but if the wife doesn't notice a problem it's unlikely to floor her. For a 14x15 room it is unlikely to be a 50% improvement.

Luc, have you considered using an M60 as a center?

no I have to measure the clearance that I have below my screen.. forget that, my NEW table is in the way!

Grunt,
Thanks for confirming....One of the things about this forum that I miss when I read at work is a lot of the Avatars are blocked for some reason - probably the website where they are stored is blocked? Anyway what I would say to yours is "Always with the negative vibes, Moriarity, Always with the negative vibes"........

You guys are probably thinking that i am nuts but i would love to see an M80 Horizontal speaker. probably a modified version but i would give it a try instead of the vp 150 hanging over the screen. thoughts anyone? Alan?

My favorite “war” movie of all time, and the character definitely fits me…well ok most people think I’m far odder than Oddball. What’s funny to me is how many people not only remember the movie but can quote lines from it. I never realized it was such a “cult” classic.

Woof, Woof, Woof.
That’s my other dog imitation,

Forget horizontal, M80s do it standing up.
