Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Where for art thou Sushi!!!

Masa, the pleasure was all mine. Thanks for having me over and the gracious hospitality. Hauling the Maggies over there was a labor of love.

I was concerned that the MG12s would be lost in the vast "Sushi room" but they performed admirably. I can only imagine what the 3.6/Rs will sound like (heaven maybe). I didn't expect the MG12s and the VP150 to blend as well as they did but I was impressed by how seamlessly they worked together. In fact, I thought the blend was slightly better than with the Hales. While I think timbre matching is important, after this session, I'm convinced that not timbre matching all speakers is not the "Great Saten" of home theater its made out to be, especially with MCACC/YPAO employed.

Yes, I do want a FP in my room!!! When that giant 120" screen came down and the lights dimmed and the picture flickered to life with that huge sound from the Maggies and Axioms and the great HSU VTF-3, I was simply mesmorized. What a wonderful alternative to going to the theater (which I've come to loath lately). The Shiner Bach and Guinness didn't hurt either. Yeah, my 36" Magnavox may soon be retired to the bedroom.

P.S.: Thats one of my favorite jackets, I'll need to swing by and pick it up. Did I leave one of my DVDs there? I thought I got home with all three. What do you mean by "platter"? Did you enjoy Finding Nemo?

Good grief...It's like you guys all operate in some other universe of listening. I can't fathom getting that into equipment . And I love music and movies.

Perhaps once I get set up with SOMETHING I'll start to recognize it's shortcomings and want to upgrade.

I love music and movies too but the equipment thing is sort of like a side "hobby". I love the gadgetry.

Thanks to its large openings to other rooms, the back of the panel can be wide-open.

The great thing about Maggies is their ability to project forward and backward equally well. I'm not sure what room is behind your home theater wall, but I suspect the sound in there will be much better after upgrading to Maggies.

Mike: Sorry I could not attend to what I promised you last week....I was on a 10 day XML training course.

Will definitely send you this week.

As with having front projection and Maggies I would say hell yeah!!!!

Right now running a phantom center which does an excellent job until I can figure out what center channel will work.


Sushi and Mike: Did you guys try out that rolling pink noise that goes throuh all the speakers to see if the VP150 integrated well with the MG12? With the PMC TB2 I found lots of discrepancies. It seemed at least with the TB2 the sound was tonally different than the MG12. I did not do any EQ adjustments on the speakers though.

ps:ignore the puke yellow...its a rental.

I like the hockey puck vibration counter-measures between the components. Do they work better frozen or at room temp?

workin' on them forearms again?

Actually when my Bryston cooks a little... some of the pucks release the same smell as black has...... ops..
wrong forum..

hash-browns? I hate it when they burn my hash-browns, too!

How about the CC3?


No we didn't try the pink noise but the Axiom VP150 seemed to do an excelent job with the Maggies.

btw, those Maggies in white sure are striking in appearence

P.S: Don't sweat the yellow wall, just be thankful its' not pink.
