Were you able to find a T80 page? I only was linked to and could find the T2 page

Actually you could just forget the Axiom idea and get a set of Bose cubes. They'd be nice and small and would blend in well. Then you could @##A)*X52F2@#AS^@$F@*%#$ J#$ @#%(@*#%@#$.... @#$ @% .

No, I didn't see a page, but it was mentioned in the newsletter.

The long-rumoured T Series is launching this month! Audiophiles can now enjoy award-winning Axiom sound in a discrete enclosure that blends seamlessly into any décor. Mount them along side a flat panel display for a sleek modern look, or even in the ceiling. Over the next several months we anticipate adding the T80 (perfect for building into an entertainment center) and T150 to round out the series. Choose your finish - the T2 (T for Thin) comes in Eggshell White, Black, Silver, or a Paintable version, with coordinating cloth or paintable metal grilles. The Paintable version comes with a jig so that you're just painting the edges that can be seen after the grille is put on - no need to remove parts to paint the speaker! Learn more about the latest addition to the Axiom line up.

Seriously though, really nice house. My wife would kill to have a house with an open floor plan like that. When our home was built in 1910, they had some strange ideas of room layout. \:o

Since you're going for a stealth system, maybe not going with large T80's would be a better idea? I can't help but think that if WAF is tops on the list, and all you're after is 'ambient' music, that a set of much smaller Axioms might be better. Like the T equivalent of M2's, mounted on a wall. Combined with a small, discrete sub like an EP400 (or even an EP125) tucked away in a corner acting like an end table. Put a plant or a lamp on it. That would sound really lovely, with plenty of presence to enjoy the music, but with an absolute minimal amount of 'speakerness' in the room.

Save the dough and buy a set of M80's + EP500 for your den. ;\)

This area didn't start out like this. Katrina made it possible to fill in a sunken living room, remove a wall and open up the kitchen.

And I've got the den covered already.



Yes, we're just looking for ambient sound. No Rock concerts or the like - That's what the den is for!!

...paid for in emotional gold. I was without the wife and kids for over a year. There was a benefit, but at a price.

Scott, you have a beautiful home!

I didn't read that the T80 will have the same front panel dimensions as an M80, so your grill exercise may or may not be valid. I suppose it stands to reason, but you might check with Axiom. Since they've announced the future availability of the product, they're probably pretty far along in the design work.

Also, you might consider more than one pair of speakers for that space. You're probably not going to be doing "critical listening"; I'm guessing that washing the whole area with music is more the idea. With that in mind, you might not need to either "FILL the space" or limit yourself to one pair to retain sonic imaging. I know wiring and amplification are not necessarily cheap or easy, but a happy wife in a roomful of great music is nearly priceless.


Thanks to all for the compliments and advice. So here's how it went today after I got home from work;

The Mrs: Whatcha doin?
Me: Making paper templates of the speakers now available.
<< tapes paper rectangles on either side of picture at beginning of thread >>
The Mrs: WOW, those are kinda big.
Me: What? You're kidding! These are the smallest ones offered. It's gonna be a couple months before the next size is available.
The Mrs: Really? How big are they going to be.
<< goes and gets a grill from an M80 and rests it on top of the couch >>
Me: About this big.
The Mrs: OH, HE!! NO. The "little" ones are fine.

So at some point she will notice the lack of bass, at which point I will attempt Peter's brilliant water heater idea...

For decent sound, you're either going to need a sub or bigger speakers. Axiom can work miracles, but I don't know if they can overcome the laws of physics with the T-series, but I just don't think you'd ever be able to get decent bass out of super-thin, small speakers. It just doesn't work that way.


When they released the W series they took so long to come out as they wanted to have the same sound signature, smaller speakers with the same Axiom sound. I can't see them doing any different with these T series. If the sound is going to be compromised from the original models they're based from, then why wouldn't they come out with new names?

I'll try searching for the post on the W series from Axiom...
