dennisdxl32 buff Registered: 07/27/06 Posts: 46 Loc: Dallas, TX	You beat me to it. Well, I guess I could start threads on: biamping vs. biwiring measuring all channels driven or not how "bright" are Axioms? HTIB's vs separates center channel: same brand as the front? horizontal or vertical? 2 EP-350's vs 1 EP-500 (wait, I did ask that question ...)

DrunkenWolf veteran Registered: 07/25/06 Posts: 133 Loc: Issaquah, WA	Quote: Quote: Do speaker wires really make a difference? I hear that they make the subwoofer more "laid back" Yeah, but the problem is that the revealing nature (some call bright) of the Axioms suddenly transforms into a more "blustery" image.

real80sman connoisseur Registered: 05/16/02 Posts: 1093 Loc: Ontario, Canada	Initially the presence seemed quite ripe - lots of primary mids, with harsh highs leading the parade, and strangely a bass that was a bit thin and dry. With time, it opened up and turned savoury: red fruits with new leather, lovely ripe tannins, medium bodied, earth and spice and a bit of stalk too. Very good length and a drying finish complete the package – a good speaker, and I like the cut of its jib. _________________________ Shawn Epic 80/600 + M3's + Custom Finish Algonquin V3's
