Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater LFR1100 vs M100 for Movies and Gaming

I have 2'6" on each side of my speakers and just shy of 2' behind. I run mine off an older Anthem MCA5ii along with my VP180v3.

The biggest problem with any speakers are they can sound exceptional in the dealers showroom and sound like crap when you get them home to your room. It's not that the speakers have changed at all, but the sound they give is in response to your rooms acoustics.

If you spend a good few hours reading through the past posts here, you will see an honest array of what users have done to try and get the best sound out of their speakers, and how amazed some are that speakers they thought were lacking suddenly blossomed with crazy things like changing a couch or leaving cushions against a back wall.

The LFR speakers I personally find are not crystal clear definition sound. But I am super glad they are not. I find that very tiring to listen to over a long period of time. They are more relaxed and you do hear all the nuances of the tracks and detail that smaller less capable speakers just won't reproduce, but deliver it in a more friendly way. I don't want pinpoint definition when listening. I like the music to feel like it's more around me.

The best part about Axiom is they will sell you the speakers and give you 30 days to decide. The cost of shipping them back if they just don't work for you is small peanuts. I originally bought M80's and found that the bottom end bass was not as rich as I would have liked, and they took them back without hassle as I went to the LFRs that I have not stopped loving.

If you were closer, I'd say come over. Bring some beers and spend a good 4-5 hours enjoying.
