Yes, the bass out of these guys is quite impressive. They are like super bookshelves for the bedroom.

It is too bad Axiom discontinued them, but what a great deal for those of us who jumped on them while the price was insanely low.

Come to think of it, I haven't really pushed them that hard. Maybe tomorrow I'll see how much my neighbors can take. Right now I'm trying them with a solid-state amp and tube preamp. Sounds good, so far!

They definitely aren't "wall of sound" speakers; in fact my crappy cheap tower speakers sound better when you really crank the volume....

... but up to their limits, the sound is fantastic. One of the very few speakers that does a consistently good job of reproducing acoustic piano. I had a higher opinion of speakers in general until I scored a real piano in the living room.... now I can walk downstairs, go "plunk plunk" on the keyboard, and see what the track is SUPPOSED to sound like.

Emperor... naked... scary...

I'm thinking that so-called "chestiness" of the M40s may lend itself to a better depiction of a piano. I've got a couple of RCA Living Stereo cds I'll try tomorrow.

I don't get why you're doing this.

Tom Tuttle and Wid where with me Peter, come on man Actually, if you haven't noticed there has been a lot of threads started in the Stereo area, not going to mention the name of the creator, but in most instances had nothing to do with the category. Ok, I'll give ya a hint VP150's suck
