Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Need some expert ADVICE

Ok here, need some help on completing HT. Currently have HK AVR630 and a SVS 20-39PCi. Just ordered both. Looking to finish setup and I am stuck between some different speakers.

Have been looking at Axioms for a while now along with Ascends. Trying to compare them so I know which one is the best for the buck. Also, do not know what speaker to choose from if I go with Axiom. Floorstanders or the bookshelf.

Here are my choices.
M60 or M22
VP150
QS8

95% HT and I have a big room.....Any suggestions???

I have the m60s,vp150, and qs8. I've gotta say, they sound awesome. Coupled with an HK AVR630 and SVS 20-39PCi...I think you'd be quite pleased. I haven't listened to the Ascends or the m22s, so I'm sorry I can't give you comparative input.

If you do a search on the forum, Ascends and Axioms have been compared many times.

Curtis you lazy bones. You've heard both...what did you think?

I don't think he wouldn't go wrong with M60's or CMT-340m's.

Ofcouse, I would have gotten a Hsu.

How's that?

well, i think if you are looking for the "best for the buck", the axioms are the obvious choice.

If you're in a big room, then the floorstander is the way to go. No doubt. You simply can't fill a room with a small speaker.

Spiff is right.

Go with M60's, VP150, and QS8's.

Welcome praider,

Curtis is being tactful, as ever, which is why he's welcome just about everywhere. But, Curtis owns the Ascend 340s, and I'm reasonably sure he prefers them. I don't think the calm, gentle, respectful people here would object if he so stated.

I own the M60s, but I've not heard the 340s. From what I've heard ABOUT them, I'd wager they are an excellent speaker, and paired with a sub, would be capable of filling all but the largest rooms.

It would be helpful to know the exact dimensions (LxWxH) of your room. Then we would have a better idea of what your needs are. Also, let us know if your room opens up into other rooms (such as a dining area), and provide their dimensions if possible.

I set my Parents up with the CMT-340's on the custom stands in a 15' x 25' (35 if you count the entry way) livingroom, with a 12' ceiling....openings are the stairs down to the family room and kitchen. They more than handle the area.

yes...I prefer the CMT-340's, but have not heard them side by side with the M60's for a long time. It is time that I visit spiff's new place and bring the 340's.
