Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater narrowed it down to two receivers, need input

ya, you just threw that in at no charge to confuse me. Gee, thanks.
Seriously, i appreciate that input. good to know it will work for the m80 as well.

Get the EP500 if you can afford it. I've owned both, believe me you will appreciate it. The EP500 is about quality and clarity, when you own a sub like the EP500 the realism in movie sound effects is dramaticaly increased. The EP350 is no slouch, just not in the same class.

Went looking for a definition of "speaker impedance" that didn't require a degree in electrical engineering to understand. The best I found was.

"Impedance:
The load value (in ohms) that the speakers present to the amplifier — the amount of resistance to the flow of current. While playing music, a speaker's actual impedance constantly fluctuates; however, speakers are usually given a single nominal impedance rating for easy comparison. Low-impedance speakers (4 ohms or less) can cause problems with receivers or amplifiers that are not designed to deliver large amounts of current."

You will be happy with the 60s. I was. I am even happier with the 80s for a few dollars more, with no upgraditis. Swing the EP500 if you can. I have the 500 and still have upgraditis for the 600. You won't believe the sounds and feelings. With the 60-500 or 80-500 you will be the envy of the block.
