Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Grand Master 500 - Expecting Delivery Soon!

While waiting for the delivery of my "first born" Axioms. I ask my self... Which CD will I listen to first? Which movie will I watch first? What would you do?

That is a hard decision, and one I found difficult to make many years ago. They will all sound awesome!!!!

Welcome to the club..

If you have a blu-ray player an excellent way to show of your Axiom speakers and subwoofer would be start off with movies such as The Dark Night Blu-ray(superb movie, great overall sound, amazing visuals), Transformers (o.k movie, amazing sound, good movie for dialogue/surrounds/subwoofer, Iron Man (I liked this one, a good movie to test the EP500, lots of deep bass). If you have young kids then Kung Fu Panda (Good movie, great visuals/animations, suprising LFE moments, great use of surrounds). All the above have incredible dynamic range as well. They should put a grin on your face .

I just got my grand master 500 yesterday and all I can say is HOLY S**T. The speakers already sound amazing right out of the box... I can't imagine what they will sound once broken in. I work in an electonics store where we sell mid to high end kef and other really good and really expensive brands. I have to say that these rival anything that we have in the store and they are a fraction of the cost. The one problem I am having is placing the sub. I can not find any spot in my room where it sounds good. Outside my house the sub sounds amazing (Im sure my neighbours already hate me) but I just cant find a sweet spot for the room. I tried doing the "sub crawl" with no luck. Anyone have any suggestions that may help with this?

Don't worry about any break-in with the Axioms, there is non. Hey Steve, do you have a drawing/picture of your room and dimensions?

Don't forget "Master and Commander", Doc!

If you have a computer in your HT area (or can move one there temporarily) the best thing is to download a program called REW (Room EQ Wizard) and do some measuring to see whats happening in your room.

the main room is 21x12.5x7.5 and then it is open to a bar area that is 10x9x7.5. roughly. It is an odd shaped room. I have used paint to draft a highly detailed floor plan of my basement... No it wasnt my 2 year old nephew who drew it he would have most certainly done a better job...

Ok so apparently I dont know how to add a picture so you will have to go off the specs.

thanks for that tip fredk

did you see those room dimensions sirquak?
