Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater just recieved my m80's

well i'm pushing these with an adcom 555 which pushes 325 watts into 4 ohm.what i've read here they say i could not turn them up all the way in a 14 by 20 foot room but i can and i notice that 105 sound pressure on these sounds way louder and cleaner on these so the ?is sound presure = sound level?and by the way i can go to 110 sound pressure in this room with this setup.anyway DEF LEPARD never sounded SO GOOD

Please tell me you're not playing Def Lepard on your nice new M80's.

*sigh* ...there's not accounting for taste I guess.

Be careful not to make yourself DEAF.

heeeey! what's wrong with D L? Their music was OK, and the girls in college that liked them were a blast to be around!!!!

those speakers must be amazing to make Def sound good!

You all snicker at the cheeze that was the glorious 80's, but have you forgotten the lyrics? Their profound insight and commentary on the relevant social issues of the time was inspiring, and overwhelming at the same time! I remember hearing the following words for the first time, and sitting there for over an hour, still not beleiving what I had heard. In an instant, I had aquired insight and knowledge that would have normally taken a decade to learn.

Rise Up! Gather round
Rock this place to the ground
Burn it up, let's go for broke
Watch the night go up in smoke

Rock on! Rock on!

Drive me crazier, No serenade
No fire Brigade, just Pyromania!

Bwahahaha.......

Different strokes. I much prefer Def Leppard to classical. Classical IMHO sucks.

Now don't be dissin' classical. Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Dvorak, they all make so-called modern "geniuses" like Cobain, Eminem, and REM sound like children.

Classical music has more dynamic range, frequency range, and more varied sounds than anything modern. Classical is, IMHO, a much more demanding test of speakers and other equipment than modern music, for the above reasons, as well as the much more complex soundstage.

So, classical may not be your cup of tea, but to say it "sucks" is naive, and insulting to fans of classical music.

I suppose I should have prefaced my satirical jab at the social relevance of DL with the fact that I own 4 of their cds and 1 concert DVD. Do I sit and listen to them seriously - ah, no. But I do put them on when I am feeling nostalgic for high school. And yes it is cranked.

My music selection is quite varied - from pop to jazz, to country, to classical, to hard rock. Bottom line, I buy what makes me feel good when I listen to it. And that is just about every genre.

Pick up Morcheeba; Who Can You Trust. Really cool band. Or sample it before hand to see if it is your taste. Really laid back music. The lead singer has a great, soft voice.
