Hi exlabdriver - THANKS for the link - I'm going there as soon as I finish this post!

Hi spiroh - I did try the YPAO on the Yamaha receiver with the M-100s, and (for my room) it didn't do much. This has been my experience with ALL room correction systems I've tried (including Denon's, Yamaha's, and Emotiva's). Don't know why, but every one I've tried chops the bass significantly and (often) tells me that one or more of my speakers are out of phase (they aren't). So in general, I run without any room correction at all.

And an additional question for youse guys - I really like the gloss finish on the wooden veneer Axioms, but mine are vinyl wrap. Is there anything I can put on the vinyl that will significantly increase the gloss? I thought of vinyl floor polish, auto detailing products, and maybe even a polyurethane gloss coat. Has anyone else tried anything to increase the gloss of Axiom's vinyl wrap?

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