Hi. I'm new. My name is Joe and I am an axiomoholic.

Fed ex brought my M80's, VP 150 and and 2 QS 8's yesterday about 5 o'clock and I quickly whipped 'em into place. I can't get over how good these speakers sound. I've been either playing music or movies non stop since (except for sleeping). I figured out real quick that they aren't going back.

After making an idiot out of my self on the shout box last night, merchman said I should start a thread; so I have.

Welcome. Congratulations on the purchase. Let us know what material you find the most impressive as you listen.

Welcome aboard!
The fun is just beginning!

You have just taken your first step.

Congrats on the new system, Joe! enjoy.

Congratulations and welcome.
Sounds like you need to cut back on the sleeping. it's interfering with enjoying your new system.

That is awesome Joe, welcome aboard! If anyone tries to steer you to the skiing ninja website, ignore any BS articles on the m80's. long story...

Congrats Joe. I saw your pics in the gallery. Looks fantastic. Welcome to the M80 club. I know you are in for many, many hours of sonic bliss. Enjoy and post more as you "break in" to your new speakers.

Thanks all for the warm welcome. I wish I had known about these speakers a few years ago. I've been lurking for a bit, so I've read the tobogganing kung fu panda thread. I don't need no steenkin' after market crossover. Glue... blah, blah, blah; bracing ... blah, blah, blah. The M80's sure do sound good for having all these problems

I've been listening all day. One thing I didn't expect from these speakers is the fast hard slam you get from drums. They just punch you in the chest; me likee. I listened to the DVD-A of Steeley Dan's Goucho today and was just blown away.

I just finished watching the Return to Forever Live at Montreux Blu-ray and except for the weird surround mix, it was like being at the concert.

What I find weird is Auddssey really screws up the sound of these speakers. I ran Auddssey a couple of times today and everything sounds better with it off. It does do a good job on setting up the distances and levels though. It kind of speaks to how flat a response the m80's have that eq-ing them makes them sound worse.

Well the biggest problem is that 3 of the 5 speakers you bought are completely unsalvagable. But never fear, Bbigwires shall come to all of our rescue...



...I see you've already seen that thread and are still enjoying your system dispite finding out how bad they sound. It's weird how good these horrible sounding speakers can play eh!

Welcome to the forum jollo.

Congrats! It sounds like you have been having a lot of fun with your new system. ENJOY!
