Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Axiom W100/150 Installation

Me? I love my tower speakers. Mmm... full range goodness.

Thanks for all the advice. Wife flat out said no Tower or Bookshelf speakers. Therefore, I am stuck with in walls, hybrids, or the new on-wall types like Paradigm Millenia 20.

If I went with dual centers, how would a receiver/amp power them? My guess is I have to split the input to both, but that could under power the speakers. Any thoughts?

Maybe turn the centers up and L/R down and check with a spl meter. What type of amp/ reciever are you using? Mono-blocks???

You may want to contact Axiom for this, but I recall Amie mentionning they are currently designing a new T (for Thin) series to wall speakers. I have no idea what is the status/reality of this, but the W-series interests you, that T-one might be the right thing for you.

The best way to connect your two centres is in parallel (+ to + and - to -) provided your receiver can handle the combined impedance. Two 8 Ohms centres result in a 4 Ohm combined load. Most receivers nowadays can handle this provided you don't have the receiver operating near its limits. You can also connect them in series but you will have to turn the centre volume up to compensate.

Thanks for the feedback. I am not sure what receiver I will be going with. I am leaning towards a the Marantz SR4002. Other options are Onkyo 605 and Yamaha 661.

What I am thinking of at the moment is:

2x W22's for L/R
1x VP150 for C
2x QS8's for Surround

I have to find a sub. I am not sure what route to go. HSU has good reviews, SVS has good reviews. I have not heard much about Axiom's subs.

I know that SVS can pound out the bass but is it musical?

All of those receivers look good. Look for features and ease of use.
