Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Comparing Speaker Configurations

Thanks for the posts on your experimentation.

Interesting observations on the M22s. I actually found it the other way around with the M80 showing a little more detail even on the high end.

Where you listening to them at the Axiom site? I got the feeling that the M80s would sound much better than the M22s in all ways in a bigger room and played louder. I suspected as much when I was buying speakers but wanted to future proof myself and just went with the M80s.

Yes. but it wasn't that large a room; 20x12x8.

Interesting! That is the size of my listening area but the overall room is 20x20x8. Did they have any room treatments? I know I need them badly but just haven’t gotten around to making anything as I keep telling myself that I should buy a house. I imaging I could make the stuff so it’s usable in most any room.

No treatments that I remember, but I wasn't really looking for anything like that at the time.

The room was a 'working' sound room meaning that it was not meant as a show room. As I remember, the inside walls were not covered, so you could see the 2x4 framing and there was lots of other stuff in the room. There could well have been damping material between the studs and I would not have noticed. It was not a lively room.

At the time, their new sound room was a pile of lumber in a corner of the plant.
