Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Amps and Power, for Micah

Fred, just to clarify, my M80's sit 16 feet from my seating position. On an average day I would say 80 db's would be about an average of what I play them. When my lady is in the room working with me I turn them down lower. But then there are also times when one of my favorite songs are on, and I really crank them over to 'feel' the bass notes coarse through my bones. This is an addiction I picked up during my car audio years. Having a pair of 12 inch drivers a mere 3 feet from your back being fed by a high watt amplifier that needs only fill a small space produces quite a bit more bass than can be achieved in a 5000 square foot room.

Also, let me make it perfectly clear that I in no way took the gentlemans recommendations for buying 1000 watt mono blocks for each channel serioiusly. I merely wondered why he would have had such an opinion concerning my M80's. I have made speculatory statements in an effort to provide theories as to his reasoning. But those shouldn't be taken as my opinion in the matter. The XPA-3 drives them to levels I already can not tollerate. It was just an interesting comment is all.
