So far i have listened to these speakers in order to help me decide what im going to buy .
Kef C7 $800 a pair , were not bad but what i am currently using blew them away .
Totem Sttaf's , $1600 a pair , imaging and sound quality was very nice but with a 5 1/4 inch driver im afraid the bottom end would not be enough without a better quality sub then i am currently using but i plan to upgrade down the road .
PSB Imagine T Tower Speakers at $2400 a pair , wow these things sounded muffled and imaging was not great as compared to the sttaf's
B&W 684 $1300 a pair , great imaging , high was not too bright which is important and mid base was nice as well .
Next on list is hopefully a drive to Peterborough to visit Wheelz to listen to his M80's and to Burlington to visit Hay to listen to his M60's .
Reason i am buying a new set of speakers is a complicated story .
On boxing day it started with buying a new Alpine cd player to replace my factory stereo in my car then next thing you know the door speakers and even though they were far superior speakers the bass actually got worse so then mounted a 10 inch sub in the place where factory sub would be and that did not to the trick so
mounted 10 inch in box and still not good enough so then i traded Image Dynamics 10 for 12 inch and after 3 boxes i finally found one which would give me the bottom end i was looking for along with a new more powerful sub amp .
Now it gets better , i sold the Alpine CDA-105 cd player and bought the Apline CDA-9887 which is a great head unit .
So still not having decent mid bass up front , i stole two of the 4 Image dynamics 6.5 inch speakers from my towers and now mid bass and sub bass in the car sounds great .
So what started out as a bright idea on Boxing day turned out to be quite the endeavor , the good thing is i do at the car stereo work myself with the help of a friend who owns an installation business.
So beware when you think you have a bright idea . :-)
Im hoping that after listening to the Axioms my quest will end and i can order a pair along with VP150 and relax .
