Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Culprite behind my M80's?

They are hooked up to a DENON 2307CI receiver.

I ordered them from Axiom.

Here are pics of my HT setup.

Paul, have you tried the suggestion to take off the connecting strips and just have the speaker wire connected to the lower(woofer)terminals to see what if any sound is heard?

Thanks for the picture thread. One thing I noticed is you have the 80's right up against the wall, maybe an inch or two of breathing room. I don't think this is your entire problem, however, your not allowing enough room for the bass to filter out the rear ports into the room.

I would try 6-8" or more out from that front wall to see if that helps at all. Have you verified the polarity of the speaker wire hookups, plus to plus, minus to minus? Have you tried resetting the receiver to defaults? Have you removed the woofers to see if the wires are hooked up?

Paul,

Connect only one of your front speakers to the receiver. Leave the other front disconnected and see how it sounds. Put the receiver in either direct or stereo mode. Also just for testing set your crossover to the lowest level on your receiver and turn off the LFE channel. Then play a cd from a different source this time and see if it makes a diff. Keep the speaker itself setup normal with the connecting strips in. Let us know what happens now. I am trying to eliminate polarity problems, crossover problems, and source problems. If the speaker sounds much better then we can solve this issue.

Paul, if you would like some help, I am more than willing to drop by sometime, just send me a PM.

I was going to say on page one there has to be someone in the area, or call Axiom.

I sent Paul a PM yesterday, I guess I should have mentioned that in that last post as well, D'oh!

That's what I was just thinking he should do..... Man you're a sharp fella Jonny!
