You're no fun John. I was going to help him spend his money on new speakers.

Now I want a hotdog! Nice video. I never really thought about measuring the individual components, but that makes sense. The large OEMs probably do something similar, but this does give you absolute control over the process.

I though you might be ignoring me.Its been a while. Whats the worst case scenario if I was to install it in this manner? Keep in mind the stand will be built to fit the speaker exactly. Not so much the depth but it will have very tight tolerances. It

An Amish man and his son visit a big mall for the first time and are amazed by the things they see. The shiny metal parts of a wall near them suddenly slide open and then close. The son asks: "Father, what is that?". Father(having never s

If the center and surrounds are obviously distorting on program material where this didn't previously occur, the first thought is that they're being played substantially louder. This raises the question as to whether they're correctly calibrated to m

Re: Better center channel by JohnK @ 05/15/13 10:17 PM

Yes, as far as the rear ports are concerned. It should also be kept in mind that speakers shouldn't be recessed into enclosures and if possible should extend a fraction of an inch in front to minimize reflections and refractions from enclosure surfac

Re: Home Security by brwsaw @ 05/15/13 10:07 PM

I agree. Nobody that knows me enters my home without ample notice. Its interesting, a rep for our security system happened to stop by this evening. We're gonna get some new stickers.

Re: What yummy thing are you eating tonight? by fredk @ 05/15/13 10:06 PM

Spinach salad with pears, walnuts and goat cheese with a balsamic vinaigrette. Simple to make and very tasty.

Re: Better center channel by brwsaw @ 05/15/13 10:03 PM

I will be installing it in a cabinet but will leave the rear of the cabinet open. This should be ok, right? I have considerded the in cabinet model but I'd like to have the option to stand mount it on its own if/when I get into a larger room.

"site wide" could be misleading. Its all good.

Re: Axiom 20% off sale by JohnK @ 05/15/13 09:45 PM

No; as stated, this includes speakers in the Factory Outlet(found by clicking on "Deals"). Custom speakers and other equipment aren't available there. Edit: speaker stands are also shown there.

Re: Better center channel by terzaghi @ 05/15/13 09:40 PM

Also, vp180 is rear ported too so same rules about wall offset apply.

Re: Testing Axiom Speakers in Production: New Video by JohnK @ 05/15/13 09:39 PM

Excellent report by Andrew. Even veteran members probably weren't fully aware of the extent of Axiom quality control measures. Each driver and crossover is tested individually and then when assembled in the enclosure the completed speaker is tested.

Re: Better center channel by terzaghi @ 05/15/13 09:39 PM

I've never heard the vp160. However, my vp180 is a phenomenal center. I do watch mostly from the "sweet spot", or the seat immediately on Each side (same couch). I don't think you can go wrong with either one.

Re: Crossover setting for M2v3 On-wall/In-wall? by JohnK @ 05/15/13 09:26 PM

You ask if the crossover should "still" be at 80Hz. This implies that a change was made since the measurement indicated that 60Hz was acceptable. If the mounting which you've discussed took place after that calibration, then yes, another Au
