Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater GUYS! My Dad is now an Axiom Convert!

We just watched behind enemy lines...incredible. My dad thought it was awesome, he was all smiles.

Having floorstanders just adds to the dynamic of the movie, it just sounded great. I mean, it was close to what my setup has, but everything was just more...beefy.

I'd like to point out how incredible the QS8's are. For a while I only had L/C/R hooked up because I was still measuring, measuring again, and drilling and mounting and wiring for the QS8's. When I finally fired them up the soundstage went from pretty flat to incredible. They just envelop you in sound!

Never underestimate the VP100, it kept up just fine with the M60's.

Behind Enemy Lines is really a great surround sound movie...lots of great booms and some awesome "spinning around" sound effects. I forgot what a good movie it was and how great it sounded.

The only problem with the setup is the left side is open. The left wall is further away so the left QS8 doesn't have as much to bounce off of and the left M60 doesn't sound as full. The subwoofer is set up to the right of the setup so that is probably distracting my ear. If I just sit down and watch and not over think everything it still is amazing.

A successful HT setup. May there be many more to come.

Very nice, Dan. Glad you and your dad like the new system. Yeah, I agree about the QS8s. Now that I've got 'em, I wonder why I waited so long to get them?

You were hoping someone would give them to you?

Dude, I kept asking for an Axiom gift certificate every Christmas and birthday! Even provided links via email. All to no avail.

I gave up counting on others. *sigh*

Ha ha, that's kind of bittersweet. You had to give up on others, but now you're enjoying your QS8s. I suppose it was worth it.

I sold my friends and used the money to buy QS8s.


Totally worth it.

Good stuff... Thanks for the great updates and review. I may have missed this, but what equipment is your Dad using for:

- A/V
- TV

I apologize in advance if you have already covered this topic ..

A/V is a HK AVR 247. The TV is a 52" Sony Bravia - I don't know the exact model.
