Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater I just took the leap...

And it was a long one... just woke up from an epic non-stop (aside from an hour to audition the setup) 12 hour round trip to pickup a pair of M60's, pair of M22's and a VP150. I had a great time auditioning them, a much better sounding setup than I anticipated. In fact, since my HT is in such a small room at the moment, I am planning on just using the towers and center channel in the main listening area. And then setting up the M22's in Zone 2 on their own. It was pretty much overwhelming with the M22's as the surrounds (and I mean that in a good way... it just startled my girlfriend... haha).

I have to say, I was really blown away by the sound when I was auditioning them. Listened to some Joni Mitchell SACD, etc, and the definition was super clear. Then checked them with Sweeney Todd. Wow, to say the least.

Anyhow, I haven't set them up at my place yet. When I do, I'll update. The speakers will be paired with an Onkyo 606 and PS3.

Wow! that's quite a round trip, Epic is the right word! Congratulations, Sam. Any problems taking them back over the border?

I actually bought them used, in my barely awake state I totally forgot to mention that. They are in damn fine shape, aside from one of the M22's that I will have to fix a corner of (purely cosmetic). As a (ridiculously) poor graduate student, this was the best starter package... lol. The previous owner is upgrading to the next level apparently...

Congratulations, Golden! Welcome to the Axiom family. I notice in your previous posts that you haven't mentioned a sub. Do you have one, or considered one? If you'll be watching many movies on your system, a sub would add much impact to the experience compared to the M60's (or M80's) alone. Either way, you have a great system. Enjoy!

I haven't heard the M22's before but hear from many people they are true to the Axiom sound. They are said to be very similar in sound when combined with a sub, to the M80s.

Welcome aboard!

Thank you everyone. My sub situation at the moment is... in flux. I am putting together a dual Rythmik, but I project that I won't be finished before September. So I am just going to tough it out until then. Unless anyone has a spare sub they are planning on throwing away

When I auditioned the system, I heard it paired with a Hsu sub... so I have a decent idea of what it will sound like with the Rythmik.

I'm pulling out my hair sitting here at work, waiting to get home and set this all up.

Nice find Golden. Axioms don't come up in the used market very often.

Thanks, I was absolutely shocked myself. I had been daily checking ebay, AVS, craigslist for a few months now, so when I saw these I just immediately made the phone call and jumped in the car, as soon as I got out of work yesterday. My girlfriend was skeptical to say the least... ha.

Just a few more hours till I get to set them up; today's productivity has been limited. If I didn't have a meeting at 3pm I mighta been "sick" today.

As soon as the meeting ends, you should state you think you might have the Swine Flu and need to go to the doctor
