John, Right now I’ve got the receiver set to LFE plus mains for the sub and the M80s set to large. This helps even out some of the 20dB dip I have at 50Hz. I was just being lazy since I was double checking some burned DVDs when skrull arrived so I just turned the subwoofer off rather than reset the receiver. I know that most people suggest setting all speakers to small but the M80s set to large does both sound and measure out better with my current sub location. I also have my QS8s 135 degrees back rather then the conventional 90 to 110. As one former Company commander said to me ”Lieutenant your a (expletive deleted) nonconformist.  Dean

If you are only using two QS8s (ie. surrounds and no rears), 135 degrees is recommended.

I just wanted to post a quick update for grunt and anyone else who might be curious about my decision. After further thought, I eventually decided on the Swan Diva 6.2 over the Axiom M80. I'm very happy with my purchase, although I think I would have been very happy with the M80 as well.
I'm not too sure on the rules here for talking about competing products, but I'll keep an eye on the thread if there are any questions. Thanks again to everyone who responded to me and to grunt for allowing me to audition his setup.

Thanks for letting us know and I'm glad you're happy  . I wanted to listen to Divas but as I've posted before, they apparently didn't want my business.

>>I'm not too sure on the rules here for talking about competing products, but I'll keep an eye on the thread if there are any questions. I don't think there are any rules, although if a competitor started advertising here that would probably cross a line and Amie would "have words" with them. Heck, we even recommend competing products from time to time  The Swans look like really nice speakers. Enjoy !!

Skrull, many of us here own speakers other than Axioms, though out of respect for Axiom we downplay that fact. You are welcome to hang out, and if we can be of any help, don't hesitate to ask.

Hi Skrull, Thanks for sharing your impressions of the M80s and your final decision. I ended up doing another audition the weekend after yours because someone in Mesa happened to read the post about your audition. Have fun with your new toys Dean
