Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners What would you choose or which is best

For me in my room the best setup is 3 M80s across the front which gives me a perfect front soundstage for both movies and music including multi-channel. QS8 surrounds and rears but could probably get by with M2 rears. QS4 height speakers and M2 wide speakers.

Although it’s recommended to use identical speakers all the way around I’ve found that for almost everything movies, music including the multi-channel stuff the QS8s beat direct radiating speakers as surrounds and often rears depending on the distance.

But as was said it depends on your room and any other constraints.

I have used both QS8s and M22s as surrounds in my HT and I preferred the QS8s for both HT and music. They really are fantastic surrounds.

yeh, I was thinking 3 M80's but, not sure I like the perforated screens> specially if I am 12 ft from the screen. just seems like some of the sound would be lost. I mean they say the from of the grills are specially made and you hear people say they hear the diference with the stupid grills off and on. Like what difference would be heard with a vinyl screen with holes in front of the speakers is gonna do. QS8 for surrounds is a given, however may go with M22's or M80's. This is what I was wanting to know I get the same three speakers up front ,and QS* for surrounds and that a direct speaker is best for the rears.

My medic8n plan is showing bbig rewards so far. You're almost out of the woods, bbigwyres. I followed most of what you just said with minimal effort. You just lost me a little bit at the end.

one of these days I am going to proof read before clicking submit.

yes, I was thinking 3 M80's across the front but, I am not sure I like the perforated screens ...yet. specially if I am sitting 12 ft from the screen. It just seems like some of the sound would be lost behind the vinyl. I mean,some people say they notice a difference with just the fabric grills. I think this is not true and that the grills are specially made for sound to go through. If this is true, what difference would be heard with a vinyl screen with holes in and speakers behind is gonna do. The QS8 for surrounds is a given, however may go with M22's or M80's for a centre channel speaker. This is what I was wanting to know I get the same three speakers up front ,and QS8"s for surrounds and that a direct speaker is best for the rears.
