Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Close to pulling the trigger on M60tis; ?s...

Thanks JohnK! Ahhh...someone caught it LOL.

I'm new yes, but have been lurking for years, and doing alot of research for MONTHS, so I am armed with alot more info than the typical nuub!

I also was in a similar situation and decided on getting the M60ti without listening. I did a lot of research and for best bang for the buck I landed in the Axiom forums.

I read and read and finally I pulled the trigger. While at first without calibrating or letting my ears get used to them I was unimpressed.

About 3 weeks into having them they sound very very good. Especially if you like to listen to your music loud as I do. You can really crank up the volume and get no distortion.

These speakers feel VERY accurate. You'll really start to notice the difference in quality recordings from different CDs. Part of my early disappointment was listening to some very old rock.

I started listening to other CDs that had much higher quailty recording and Wow what a difference.

I was one of those "turn up the bass and trebble all the way" retro guys from back in the 70s. I finally started listening to music for accuracy and I find my taste for music is changing a bit.

For example before my M60tis I saw cool jazz as elevator music. Now it is one of my favorite things to listen to. The accuracy and purity of the music on the M60tis just blows me away. Even started listening to some classical and that is impressive as well.

I love my M60's, even though Wid thinks I need to upgrade to M80's.

It's hard to go wrong with in home trials. But it is especially true with Axiom CS. It's the best way to try out 60s or any other speaker.

Wid is correct!

Thank all of you very much for your opinions! It really does help. While I know there is no substitue for "speaker auditions", honestly, the best thing I can say about my lisening habbits is "casual", not "critical".

Its funny, I am satisfied easily; yet at the same time I have a habbit of being a "perfectionist", and nit-picky as can be.

But, i have been "listening" to speakers in and around me as I come into contact with them (car, home, @ work in our studios), and so far, they all sound great to me....EXCEPT my home system!!! What is really getting weird, one song sounds GREAT on my system, yet another sounds horrible...And often times when I am listening/watching on my system it makes me sleepy (no, I am not making that up).

I think currently I am suffering from a bass "hole" though, and it depends on how much of that material is present as to whether is sounds good or bad.

Was listening to Steely Dan's earlier work, and it sounds....well, not right. Yet, when I popped in his "Two Against Nature" CD, it actually sounded quite good. In the former case, there isn't alot of bass down low, so my sub doesn't do much. In the latter, there is, and my sub starts to come alive. The more I lisen to my current setup, the more I regret buing those "cute" litle speakers.

Oh, well....Going to pull the trigger, and see how much of a difference it makes.

I listen to ALL kinds of music, but my two main types are:

Classic Rock, and Ambient/Space music. Pretty far ends of the spectrum I know...

Thanks again everyone!
