Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Vertically Centered

Well, the original estimate was the 17th, then they changed it to the 16th, then it was back to the 17th. It didn't come today. The new estimate is tomorrow. It's in Portland now, so it should make it. It's always exciting getting a new speaker.

So that would be... Debina?

Just noticing a pattern.

You know you just jinxed yourself by saying that. Now a storm of the century is going to hit and it won’t be until Monday at the earliest.

Did you place a phone order or internet. I forget who answered when I called placing my second Axiom order for 2xM22, 2xQS8s and 1xM80 but she hesitated a little (like she didn’t want me to feel embarrassed) and said “you know people usually order two of those.”

Internet for me, and I paid with PayPal this time, which I hadn't done before.

Did you sleep well excited like that?

Apparently not. I woke up too early. I'm going back to bed now.

Charles?

It's here. I hooked it up. It works. I'll need time with it. I have it sitting on top of the TV, on an OmniMount center channel speaker shelf. I almost got rid of it at one point since I was using the VP150, which fits below my screen. I don't have it angled quite enough to point the tweeter directly at ear level, but it's not too far off. I'd be scared of angling it anymore without some better anchoring. What movies have people here used to test out their center speakers? Something with deeper male vocals, perhaps, to see how much difference there is between the VP150 and this? That makes me think Transformers.

I was trying out Transformers, and I have some work to do this weekend. In its current position, it definitely sounds like it's coming from above the screen, whereas when I had the VP150 below the screen, it seemed like it was coming from the screen. I don't have room below the screen because my amp and pre-amp are sitting on the floor in front of the TV stand, and with the spacers for ventilation, they're a little too tall to allow for the M22. So yeah, I have some playing to do.
