I think I speak for everyone here when I say, "Homina homina homina..."

As usual, Ken has articulated the proper response. That is some serious speakerage. Nice looking set up that doesn't appear to lack for audio capabiity. Any reason you didn't hang 2 more M80s on the back wall?

What is the rest of the equipment above the center and in the cabinet? Looks like you might be a Denon guy.

Ooops - just noticed the equipment listing under the pictures. How do you like the 2900? I've had one for a couple of months now and it produces stunning PQ. Also - what are you usning for a remote? Quite a bit of discussion lately surrounding the Home Theater Master MX-700, which is fabulous for use with the 3803.

I have to ask a question that's NOT speaker-related:

I see you have an XM receiver hooked up to the system. How does the sound REALLY compare to CDs? Listening through car speakers in Best Buy I'm sure does not do the service justice, but I really think I'd only be interested if it (or Sirius) is really CD quality or extremely close....especially now that the resolution of the Axioms will show an inferior source!

(Oooh! I DID make it about speakers!)

I really don't have any extra space on the back wall to hang a extra set of M80ti! I think I have enough for the rear area. I love my Denon 3803 I have had it for about 2 years also the Denon 2900 is one heck of a DVD/DVD-A/SACD player. As far as a remote goes it's next on my list. Oh by the way I have a set of M3ti for my Tube Amp in my computer room and I love them too! my last set of speakers I ordered just before the price increase was the M22ti so when I get them I will be pretty Axiomed out if that is possible.

The Xm Radio sound fantastic when listining to music like Smooth Jazz, But when listning to music like the oldies it has a lot to be desired. I dosen't compare to the Denon 2900 DVD/ DVD-A/ Sacd player in my opinion.. JUST MY OPINION. I have a second XM Radio I use with my Cayin TA-30 Tube Amp with a set on Axiom M3ti and they sound really nice with the tubes.
Here is a Picture of my Buddy (DANDY)

HOLY COW!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is one hell of a system.
So how many Axiom speakers total do you have now?
Also I've noticed in your and some other peoples photos, a wood plate under the sub. Is this a necessary thing to do? Could I benefit by doing this?

I have (4) M80ti (4) QS8 (1) VP150 (2) M3ti and (2) M22ti on the way. The Sub is a SVS PB2+ IT has (2) 12 Woofers and a 900 Watt Bash Amp for power. The plate it oringial to the Sub it is a down firing system.

bray, all of the SVS subs have the bottom panel integrated into the sub. It was one of the things I found appealing. Nice finished look and it is a downfiring sub, so there is some sonic benefit involved. makes for a nice firm bas for the cylinder subs too.

Well Lee, we have at least 3 things in common. Age, QS8s, and the very same clock.

The owner of the health club, where I used to work out, had a large white bird that I think was a Cockatoo (don't hold me to that, but that's what I think it was). I never could understand why people would want a bird for a pet. Well that bird (named Snow) taught me a lesson.

I got in the habit of taking her out of her cage, and I'd slide my fingers up under her feathers and stroke her head, her neck, her back, her wings. And that silly bird acted just like a dog. She'd nuzzle me, and snuggle up to me, and if I went somewhere off the spot she wanted scratched she reach out her claw and guide my hand to the right spot, or duck her head under my hand to get it properly positioned. (I've found this same technique works, with similar results, on some women too )

She was a sweet, affectionate creature, and I fell in love with her. I was very pleasantly surprised.

Is Dandy anything like this?

Ajax,
Dandy is exactly as you describe of the other cockatoo A very loving and talented Bird. He is only 3 years old and talkes up a storm, then I have my old (GOLDY) he is 28 years old and I have had him since he was 6 weeks old.
Here is a picture of him.

I'll Try the Picture again

koiman- upon investigation of your pics, i have seen many speakers, 2 wild birds, and 6 lava lamps.

now that sounds like my kinda party!!!

bigjohn

And is Goldy a Parrot? How is his personality? Do he and Dandy get along? And while I'm at it, how deep is the ocean and how high is the sky . 28 years! YIPES! That's like being married (I suspect).

BigJohn,
This is another one of our hobbies we have (17) Lava Lamps of varing and colors, Most with black bases a few with silver. And (2) very large ones.

Ajax,
Goldy is a Blue & Gold Macaw and as far as marriage goes we have been married for 40 years as of last June 15th.

koiman, How do the QS8's sound directly behind the couch? Our couch is in a similar position with just about a foot from the rear wall and wasn't sure if two more surrounds would be to close to the listening position. Thanks.

Yamaha V750

jrmav,
The QS8 sound real good, being that I have two you don't have to worry so much about the sweet spot for the rears the sound envelopes you well, I suppose one would be Ok but I prefered the two.

Another question for anyone that can help. Would two more QS8's put too much strain on my Yamaha V750 (100w x 7)? It is currently set to 8 ohms. Thanks.

Now that's a system to die for! Absolutely beautiful

Curious about the M80's at the rear. Does the sound suffer at all being behind the furniture? I ask as I may have to place an M60 were it could be slightly blocked by a couch.

Cheers, Jag. and thanks for sharing!

How do you have all those speakers hooked up? Surely you can't be driving them all at the same time can you?

Jag, I haven't had problems with the M80ti to the side of the couch in fact when I play DVD-A and SACD they have the same life and fidelity as the front M80ti. When listining to the sound from movies there not usually that much sound except for ambient sound and sound effects.

MCondanti, I usually run them all at the same time on my Denon 3803 Amp Thats a total of (9) Axioms speakers plus the Subwoofer. The Amp handles it with now problem even though four of the speakers are 4 ohm. When listining to stereo I usually use pure direct mode on the Denon using my two front M80ti and the SVS subwoofer.

So what do you have each speaker hooked up as? I knew the 3803 could have two sets of side surrounds, but I thought only one pair could be turned on at a time... (Or do you have the side QS8 and M80 wired in series?)

Great setup... I can't believe you have 4 M8O'S... I have the same receiver and I thought about getting the M80'S, but I went with the M60's for fronts. My 2900 will arrive on Friday and I hope it is an improvement over my 910.
Anyways
Great theater!

The Denon is a 7.1 Channel Amp. I have the Side Qs8 set to channel (A) and the Side M80ti set to channel (B) they can all be played at the same time or you can choose any combination. A lot of the time I listen to DVD-A and SACD and usually listen with the M80ti in the rear which a on channel (B) so that includes Front Left & Right M80ti VP150 and Side Left & Right M80ti.

Doesn't the M80 takes some room at rear and side to breath in order for it to reach its full protential? I know my M60s do. They need at least 1 ft at the back and 2 feet from the wall on the side.

Anyway, your room is packed like an axiom warehouse

My rear M80ti are angled with 24 in. off the back wall in the front and have a slight blockage to the rear but do have available air space to the rear of 4 feet on both speakers. Some people say the M80ti are unforgiveable to place but I have never had a problem mine sound fantastic where ever I have placed them.
