Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater M80s to bright for prolonged music listening?

One could quantify the statement of bright in more ways as well. I've never found the Axioms to be raspy sounding, but a pair of crap Sony speakers was both bright and raspy, simply harsh, on the ears. A pair of horn Klipsch speakers actually made my ears ring.
Our Axioms always have a clean sound and so far have taken a ton of power bringing that clean sound to high SPL. Only at the point of clipping with a receiver did they start to lose that sound cohesion and only then did they sound more like the crappy Sony speakers, for obvious reasons.

I should also point out, i've never been bothered by any brightness quality with movies, only with music. The added resistor on the tweeter also helped in this regard. The clarity of dialogue and great dispersion of the QS8s is one reason why no one will pry them from me.

Klipsches really are like surgical instruments on the ears for those that have decent hearing. And they're like medical instruments for those that have extreme high frequency hearing loss.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention that the cost for my carpet is a direct warehouse price from Mohawk. You can surmise as to what the actual price is . Also, think of the advantages of being handicapped-someone else has to grab your beer (usually a hot chick), cougars try to pick you up at the bar , and last but certainly not least; I had my accident when I was 18. Prior to that I had to walk around etc. and even that is a laborious task.

PS. I can also drink and drive, not legally mind you.
