Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Axiom Loudspeakers vs. Rocket Loudspeake

In August I demoed in my home for a week or so the Rockets 750/200 combo (I live within a short drive of the AV123 HQ in CO) vs. the Axiom M60/150 combo. Night and day difference between these speakers. As I listen to music 80% - 90% the Axioms just provided a much truer reproduction of the full sound spectrum.

Now having said that, I will tell you that the Rocket 200 (Bigfoot) is a better center than the Axiom 150. Also, movies on the Rocket setup are very compelling, so I can understand how someone can like both Rockets and Axioms - one more for HT and one more for music.

I demoed 4 other front and center setups against the Axioms (more on that later...) and chose the M60/150/QS8/M22 7.1 setup. I have teamed the Axioms with a Pioneer 45TX and 3 Outlaw M200s. The full setup and pixs will be forthcoming soon, the final walkthrough on my basement finishing project is 10/10.

ugh, drooling.

cant way to see the pics rjj!

Redline76 was supposed to come to my place for the demo, but he never showed up. He hasn't returned any of my emails either. Very strange, he just disappeared.

Hmm... maybe he has been worked up by those Rocket-heads? HAHAHA...

Even if he did hear the Rockets and liked them, you'd think he'd still at least want to hear the Axioms. Whatever. His loss.

I found out this weekend that he did not hear the Rockets either.

What the heck happened then?

Heh spliffnme - makes you feel kinda strange about giving this complete stranger your address and other information, doesnt it? Well I hope you never have any problems as a result of wanting to help him.

Spiff lives in West LA. I'm sure the possibility of one more crazy down there isn't going to cause him any discomfort.
No offense to you city-dwellers, but I can't stand big cities.

I generally don't give out anything more than my phone number until they're on their way. But being from Maine, I'm a lot more trusting than most folks in the city. I've not had any trouble yet. In fact so far, I've met some very cool people. Believe it or not, most people don't suck.
