Thanks, Gents - In my current home, a dedicated listening room just won't work. Next house...

As for LOW bass - again, not an issue. My wife is averse to having her innards jiggled by sounds she can't hear. So the 31 Hz cutoff of the Axiom towers is perfectly sufficient. I've owned subs that went down below 20 Hz (including the Definitive Technology Trinity), and they weren't well received by her.

My current subs (PowerSound Audio XV-15s) go no lower in frequency than the main Axiom speakers, but with two 15" cones, they do so with significantly lower distortion and with more authority than the two small woofers of each M80.

Again, I'm eagerly awaiting the opportunity to hear for myself.

Happy New Year! Boom

My opinion is worth exactly what you're paying for it!
