Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater M60 vs M22

thanks a bunch for the help... still deciding on the amp... might just borrow the avr3550hd form work until the avr7550hd comes out. Also looking at the denon avr 4310ci which I can get for 1500 shipped to my door.

This is a very exciting time for you. I don't know what sort of history you have with audio equipment, but Axiom speakers sound as good as just about anything out there, and easily out perform anything in their price range.

I can still recall my very first impressions when I hooked them up to the Denon and tuned into a radio station. I was very worried that they were going to sound bright in my livingroom because it isn't ideal by any stretch of the imagination. First of all its square, secondly I have hardwood floors, and I have lots of pictures (with glass) hanging on the walls. I had sampled SRoodes Axiom set up, so I knew what the speakers were capable of, but his room was light years ahead of mine in terms of sonic stability & sound field control.

So I was hoping for the best, but expecting the worst. But much to my surprise & relief, I thought they sounded practically exactly as I recalled them sounding in Steve's incredible room! So I was happy beyond words!!! But as satisfied as I was with the intial impressions of them, the more I listen to them (I probably spend a good 5 - 10 hours a day listening to music while I edit, then watch a movie at night... EVERYDAY!!!) the more I appreciate how incredibly well they sound and reproduce a musical signal. As much as I looked forward to getting them home & enjoying them I could never have imagined how truely satisfied I would end up being with them!

You know how with some things the build up can't match up with the reality of the actual experience and you wind up disappointed because it failed to meet your expectations? Well the exact opposite was true of my Axiom purchase. I spent over four grand on my system, and having lived with them for a month now I never could have known that four thousand dollars could bring me this much joy day in and day out. I mean this is what I was hoping would happen. But very seldom in life does it ever work out this perfectly. Dispite some set backs with my subwoofer, I truely could not be happier with my purchase.

I hope you have a similar experience with your purchase!

Melvin I cant tell you how excited I am to get these. I cant believe how fast they got the order out to me... I ordered them yesterday and they are almost here already. I just brought home the AVR3550HD which I will be using until the AVR7550HD comes to my store and then will be swapping. You have now made my anticipation even greater and to top it all off I had my SXRD and screen installed today... so everyting is coming together. Just waiting on my second row of seating and the speakers and then I am done. Oh and all my framed posters... and then I am done... Or just beginning I suppose whichever way you look at it. Anyways I really appreciate the support of this forum. Thanks again

lol excuse me... I meant Micah*

Too late. He's hereby known as Melvin.

Dang, that happened to Ken Calvin, too.

Is that you, Sylvan?

It is! How ya doing, Buford?

Ha ha, funny story... I was corresponding with JC about the speaker I needed replaced and he wrote back, "is there some sort of mistake here? I can't find a Melvin White in our records"...

I was cracking up!
