Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners looking for speakers for Sony STR-DE697

Well, I picked up the m60s from the local Purolator and managed to put one in my back seat and half in the trunk and half hanging outside the trunk

I can definitely hear the difference in sound comparing to my 10+ years old SONY floor speakers. However, it seems that my wife is not pleased with the new m60s... I mean there is a slight difference but she complains the speakers sounds hollower than before ???

While I could hear the difference but not as much as expected when I got the Mhdt Lab tube-buffer Paradisea DAC years ago - that was a night/day difference.

Question: do the speakers need to be broken in?
I am going to A/B the sony vs. the m60s tonight after work.
Perhaps my setup is not corrent OR, maybe it's about time to upgrade my AMP?

Now, my setup is simple:

Samsung HD841 via optical toslink to DAC's spdif and from there it's RCA to my SONY STR-DE697.

The other thing worth mentioning is I am using the same speakers cable (haven't had time to install the new cables I ordered).

Thanks.
