Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners The final piece is in place - thanks to all!

I just wanted to post a quick note and express my appreciation to everyone on this board.

My last upgrade arrived Friday (QS8s). I had some M3s as surrounds but after listening to all the raves about the QS8s, had to give them a try - WOW :-) They complete the system - H/K 525, M60s, VP150s, QS8s and an HSU VTF-2.

Back to the apprication portion of our program....

I had never heard of these wonderful speakers, nor the fabulous resource that is this board. After many hours lurking and learning I slowly made the plunge, then upgraded and tweaked. Now I'm done and regularly just burst out laughing during music or movies from the experience this systems creates. Plus I get to relish in the speechless stares on friend's faces when this proud papa shows off the toys.

Thank you all for the generous advice and knowledge! I'm almost sad that I won't have any new presents waiting at FedEx for me anymore - snif, snif.

Congrats, Toby! I know the feeling you described. hehe...

I've got the same setup...60's, 150, QS8's. (I've also added a pair of M2i's in the rear) It's fun as hell isn't it??? I just LOVE watching movies at home now! (even with my puny little TV)

I am still amazed at the poor quality of some movie theater sound systems, although it makes me appreciate my Axioms all the more. Every movie I watch at home on the M60/VP150/QS8 combo is an "experience". Here's to a great line of products and an equally great forum. Really appreciate the knowledge transfer on this forum.

With this setup in place a new movie has got to be something that's visually overwhelming to get me to go to the theater instead of waiting for the DVD. No lines...no parking...and plenty of beer!!!

I'd love to put my M3s behind like you, but I just don't have any room behind the couch - @$%*@$#!

Replacing the puny TV is the next quest. RP, no DLP/LCD, no plasma, no FP - AAHHHHH!!!! I think I've settled on front projection for the 3rd time, just need a screen material that will work with moderate light.

Once you install the Axioms and the front projection, your motivation to go to the local cinema theater will really dwindle (unless it's IMAX or something)...

As for the screen, my Da-Lite High Power fabric (on-axis gain=2.8) works great even in a fully lit room at night. We've long stopped turning off the lights when we watch the TV program (which is a much brighter material than movies).

Thanks for the IMAX plug!

that sounds like it would hurt.

Your mind lives in the gutter doesn't it?

Yeah, and street cleaning only happens every other week.
