Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners M80 and VP150 Testing over at Sking Ninja Forum

thanks for the tip.

It strikes me as odd that his numbers vary so much from the third party anechoic measurements done at the NRC.

fredk are you referring to these 3rd party measurements?

Clearly, this guy has no agenda. I guess the NRC is lying, right?

Yeah Skiing Ninja has more knowledge and experience than Ian, Welti, Geddes, Toole, and the NRC combined. He is simply a Ninja. I'd like to apply a little Ryute Kempo on his a$$.

My Chito Ryu and Kobu Jitsu sensie once told me something that if you observe it, is almost always the truth. I can't remember exactly how he worded it but:

"Unless you are talking about pro competitors in an entertainment centric field of sporting (read...where image is important to the paycheck,) then you can almost always judge a martial artist's true skill by how little he makes of it. There will, of course, be rare exceptions but their personalities almost always match their mouths and their teacher was delinquent to continue training them to that level"

In other words, since he calls himself a Ninja on a public forum, I'd be willing to bet you could take him. heh heh.

So, what ever happened to the test of the M22's using the "Ninja's" crossover? Did I miss the exciting conclusion, or did it just never happen? I was following the discussion for quite a while, then it just seemed to disappear.

The M22 XO testing with Ian never came about, they wanted to keep them in house, however I did get a set and did some nonscientific testing of my own.

That was interesting. Did he test it to help confirm the 2.4 ohm issue that Emotiva has also stated. I personally would trust a word this ol boy writes.

The 2.4 Ohms isn't an issue when the XO is set at 40hz and up in a receiver any way. Only those running a 2 channel system would need to worry about it and even then a proper amp should still be able to handle it, like all the ones Axiom recommends. I know many speakers have drops this low, as I have mentioned many times, the M22 drops into the 2 ohm range and no body has a problem driving them.
