Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Pics of my new system Plus Debate, Grills ON/OFF

raindance, they're a lifesaver. we keep them in stock in ourstore just beside the sky hooks.

retrace, grills on. With grills off, it is almost "asking" for the occasioinal guest to touch the speaker itself. (I know it's an urge that sometime inflicts me. ) I like to feel and touch the smooth silky grills of my QS8s as I walk by. Ok, maybe there is a fetish thing going on here with me... there is probably another board out there I should seek out to be "with my own people". for every fetish -- there's a internet site. what can I say, I think I'm in love with my axioms, and the grills are the best part!

In my office, I keep the cable stretcher right next to the box of spare dial tones.

I've been debating on whether or not to get the M80's or the M60's. Most people on this board have told me to go with the M60's because my room size isn't huge.

I see you picked the M80's even though your room size isn't particularly big. Have you had any problems? My room size is probably twice that of yours, and I would just assume get the M80's if it won't hurt things.

retrace,

AWESOME system.. i will guess you will never get tired of hearing that. looks like all you need is a grill and a beer cooler, and you would have no reason to ever leave..

i have same question as others.. does that system seem 'too' much for that size room.. i know the saying, "if its too loud, your too old".. thats not what i mean.. i mean, can you FULLY crank that thing up without hurting your ears.. the M80's are supposed to be extremely efficient, and i am just curious if they can truly shine in what looks to be a confined space.. ??

not critiking, just curious.. i think it looks really killer.. grills on by the way.. just looks cleaner to me..

Pete, you may be able to help me. I only have right handed dial tones and I haven't been able to find ANY left handed for a few months. Can I get some from you? If not, I won't be able to properly break in my phone to allow me to calibrate it's speaker. I do have some Monster Phone Wire on order that will also need to be broken in, but I suppose I'll need to stretch THAT before I can use it. Boy, working through this technology labyrinth really gives me a headache.

Have you converted your phone cables from the regular RJ11 terminators to spade lugs? It makes a huge difference! Hold music becomes crystal clear with a really deep soundstage.

I prefer Kimber phone cables. They're really smooth and laid back. Broaden the soundstage and all that.

Hah - got ya! I'm using sonically balanced subwoofing banana plugs that generate a phantom dipole surround field. The setup was VERY bright until I played the system for 300 hours testerday. I'm still not hearing details, but it IS Muzak after all.

I've got a coworker who would be happy to set up a hold music system for you. He's absolutely obsessed with that crap. I told him it would be fine as long as he didn't put any ABBA on. Now what do you think I hear out of those damn little speaker phone things day in day out?!
