Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater System is shipped as we speak (so to speak)

And here's my 500th post. It sure has been an adventure! Never expected a joyful quest would have come to this. Wonder how the next 500 will go.

So I join the ranks of "aficionado"!

Zimm's right. We'd all just add you to our personal "ignore" lists, or you'd get yourself banned by an administrator, or something.

Hope you can get some satisfaction from your speakers, whether they be Axiom or others.

Bob, you do realize that the biggest factor in how a speaker sounds in your room is not the speaker, right? The room plays a huge role. Listen to other speakers in the same room and see what you think.

BTW - I play guitar and used to be in a band. Still, my opinion of what sounds good to me is just my opinion. It so happens that I don't like the album you are referring to (Allman Bros). Doesn't mean it isn't good, just not good to me. Same thing with speakers. Understand where I'm coming from?

Now that is ironic. You are now an Axiom aficionado and hate the speakers upon first listen. Wow, you can't write this stuff.

I remember when I first moved to our new house and put my M80's in my dedicated HT room. A huge room with 9 ft ceilings and nothing on the walls or no furnature. They sounded horrible. I almost wondered if they had been damaged in the move. After I got the furnature in and added some treatments on the walls and a little position tweaking, back came that sweet sound that I was used too (i was much relieved).

I have read artical after artical that says changing the accustics in your room, can make as big a difference as changing your speakers.

It is possible that the room accoustics at Bob's place don't work well with the M80's.

If that is the case, Bob, you have two options, change the room to match your speakers, or change your speakers to match your room. Which you choose is your call, we can only give advice.

Nobody here ever said this was going to be easy. But it is rewarding once you get it right.

Best of luck in what ever you decide.

Talk about ironic. Keep posting here! :

Bob, I'm going to try something here, but...

Double check that all of the drivers on the speakers are firing. They could certainly sound thin if the woofers aren't hooked up (like if the binding straps are loose.

Hello BoB,

Have you tried listening to Direct Mode (Pure Direct?) on your Denon rather than stereo mode with your listening material?

Yeah, this wouldn't be the first time the binding straps came loose at shipping!

LOL Doc. Pass the poohcorn please. Tom, where's thr fr!@@&n beer dude! After such a long wait... it better not be no 'lite' beer!
