Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Receiver on a budget

The biggest problem you are going to have with your system is the M60's. They are rated at 8ohm but if you look at the impedance graph they pull most of their power when playing bass heavy in and around the 6-7ohm.

The issue is the receiver can handle the load, but they do a pathetic job of cooling themselves. I don't know if anyone ever bothered to really read the manual for the units, but they say you need to have 16" of clearance on top of the unit, and 8" clearance of each side and back. So you simply can't put it into a rack or near anything else. This is compounded by the power requirements of your speakers as it will pull the receiver to the max powering the lower frequencies of your speakers if you play at and decent loud volume.

Just a heads up to consider.

I am sort of wondering why you would need so many HDMI connections? Thinking possible Cable, BluRay, Game Console, ???
