Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo Blown Away....

Uh oh. You set off my audio radar. I had never seen that little tube-driven iPod dock.

hi,
i sent axiom this question, but maybe someone here can help. i have the m50's v2 floor standing speakers. the highs seem to top off where i lose clarity. i am powering them using an older denon receiver. would moving to an integrated amp help remedy this? i'm surely no audiophile and cannot fit the one they are offering in my budget. if upgrading would help, any suggestions for one (max $500). any other suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks,
greg

ps. i'm just using them for stereo. no need for home theater.

The 50's have always been said to be more laid back with less detail than the 60's, 80's, or even the 22's. Probably closer to the m3's. I don't think a new AVR or seperates will help the sound, just provide more power possibly.

Widl, I'm sure if you email Alan (Loftt) at Axiom, or one of the other inhouse experts they can help you. You should let us know some details on your Denon as well. There are loads of great deals on recievers lately, well within the budget you have specified (Denon/Harman K ect). Are you listening to music only, or are you/will you be using it for home theater? A little more info will give the forum here more info to help you.

Hey it's my twin with a l

Have you put your ears up to the tweeters to make sure their ok? How long have you had them?

hi,
got them early december. the tweeters seem ok,

thanks
greg

sirquack,

was that a nice way of saying that they don't measure up to the others. the m50's say they use the m3s for the high range.
thx
greg

The M50s and the M3s are known for a more laid back sound. The M22, 60s and M80s have a more detailed and forward sound to them. It could be you would like the latter with their extended highs.

Widl - it's very unlikely that the amp is your problem. Axiom sometimes takes a day or two to respond to mail messages, but if you want a more immediate response you can always call them as well.

Jason

thank you all for your responses.

i guess i'll wait for their response before deciding anything

regards,
greg
