Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo Help! what compact stereo for a college dorm

Ok, so right now I'm sitting in a dorm room listening to Jimi Hendrix doing a rousing version of Red House. It's 9:06 and about 30 minutes before my International Business class. From this perspective I can safely say that M3ti's are a very cost effective and space conserving alternative to convential $150-$200 "mini-systems." I've been woken up at all hours of the night by these bass-distorting titans of crap and I have to say the M3ti's easily put them to shame. If your son wants clear, well balanced music and isn't interested in hearing his music on the other side campus, you can't beat axiom. As for a source, I use my computer to supply me with over 30gb of mp3's (don't tell the authorities). Plus, a computer can also be used to play DVD's and regular audio CD's. Besides speakers, I'd recommend getting a nice little integrated amp like a Cambridge Audio A500 or a Denon DRA-395 for a little less money. Personally, I have a parasound Pld-1100 preamp and HCA-750a amp (75w x 2). These little speakers consistently impress me and I plan to enjoy them long after I graduate.

Enjoy,
