Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Trade up ?

Seen on another form that if u buy axioms that u can trade up? Been looking on the website can't find anything about it do they have a trade up policy? Just ordered a Denton988 and was thinking about a pair of m60's but was wondering if I could trade up if i wanted to will be in a large room 25'x25x8' I really want a 8ohm speaker read a lot of good things about Axioms Any help would be appeachated forgive my spelling!

Why an 8 ohm speaker? That Denon will drive the 4 ohm M80s just fine.

Just didn't want to push the avr to hard plus the $ That's why I wanted to know about the trade up policy

I believe they will trade up for the full amount within the 30 day trial period. After that it depends on how old they are as to the amount they give. Check here

Don't get hung up on he 4ohm versus 8ohm thing, if you get 80's that Denon won't even break a sweat. The 60's would do fine in that room space, as my room is bigger and I used to own 60's for a few years, now enjoying the 80's.

I believe if you check the top thread on the forum there is a discussion about the tradeup program. Otherwise, you could just call.

Thanks posted in the wrong thread sorry

You're ok posting it here, don't listen to him .

I forgot, welcome aboard.

I was not saying your in the wrong thread, just mentioning that there is section that talks about the program. Wid took the time to find the link, I'm to lazy....

Another welcome - as you research more and have questions, feel free to post them here. We'll be happy to provide advice.

Was wondering it looks like eveyone that has the m-80 has a amp and a avr hooked up.Does everyone have trouble driveing the 80-'s with just a AVR?

I have the Denon AVR-3806 (10W less than the current 3808), and have not tripped it yet driving the M80s (2 years running).

Several people use the denon 3808 with the m80's with no problems at all. (me being one of them).

so u don't think with a 988 i would have any trouble with them I don't crank it up much but when i want to I'd like to be able to!

You won't have any problems running M80's with that Denon. Order up some M80's. You will not be disappointed.

By the way, welcome aboard.

Beginner. It depends on both your room size and listening habits. I drive my M80s with a Sherwood 100wpc receiver just fine and can push it up to 90db in my room with no distortion.

I am in a small room though, 11x20x8.

how much better does the 80-'s sound from the 60-'s? Thanks everyone for ur time and help

About 20 better...

...or to rephrase, its very subjective. The M80 has noticably more bass, and more detail in the mids and highs. It is noticable in a direct a/b comparison.

My Denon 2805 has driven 60's and now 80's with no issues. Id say about 12.5% better.

They really are both very good speakers. If you're not listening to them side by side, I think you'd be very happy with either. I originally auditioned the M60s and was blown away by their sound. However, I didn't ever want to ask myself "what if" so I jumped in with both feet and got the 80s. Needless to say, I'm quite happy with them. The good news is, you'll be happy either way. The bad news is, like all of us you'll obsess incessantly about the decision for many days before making it.

I had originally planned on getting the m60's but the only audition I could find within 4 hours was for the m80's. After hearing the m80's I really didn't want to settle for anything less.
