Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners M60v3...Thoughts On and Questions About

You can pre-order them right now from AVS. They should start shipping sometime in December. There is the RS40, RS50 and RS60 in the Pro line with counterparts in the regular line. They all have 3D, which I couldn't care less about, but they have increased 2D performance in many areas from last year's models. The RS40 has a price point that folks who are looking at Panasonic and Epson will like.

Here is the thread at AVS. Way too long and off topic with the typical BS, but all the info you might be interested in.

Thanks!

Just an update...I ordered M80's to compare them to the 60's. I first listened to the M60's using Bruckner Symphony #6...Michael Gielen & the SW Radio Orch, Baden-Baden on a Hanssler dig. recording. Then I quickly hooked up the M80's and listened once again. I immediately heard what I wanted with the M80's, a more forward sounding speaker in the upper and middle range and an even fuller lower range than with the 60's. I then listened to some Kabalevsky (Comedians) & Rimsky Korsakov (Capriccio Espagnol). With my former speakers (and even with my sub), this recording (Sawallisch & Bayerisches Staatsorchester on a dig. EMI recording) has always sounded thin with a lack of lower and lower-middle support. The M80's changed all that and brought this recording into a different dimension with a full middle and lower undergirding of sound that balanced out the entire recording. Impressive! I then put on a movement of a Schubert Trio which was bewitching, and today I finished my test off with Bruckner's Symphony #4 (Jochum and the Berlin Phil. on DG). The recording was produced in 1965 and digitally remastered. It has a wonderful sonorous playback on the M80's that with my eyes closed could almost replicate a cathedral setting in terms of sound.

To be sure both M80's were working properly, I did as John K. had suggested earlier and put my ear to each driver. To my surprise, one tweeter wasn't working at all. JC indicated it was a problem with the crossover so a new M80 is on its way.

I am very satisfied now, and to top it off, I was able to buy the M80's at the old FO price. I am another satisfied Axiom customer.
