I currently own the M60Ti and was wondering if anyone upgraded to the V3? Can someone do a direct comparison? I'm getting that itch of getting new speakers. The other thing that worries me about the new M60V3 is that it has only two binding post and not 4 like before? Is this correct? This would be a deal breaker for me. I currently run my Turntable/Tube Phono preamp/Denon poa 1500/M60ti and than My Home theatre thru a Denon 3910 / Denon 3805/ M60ti/vp150/qs8/ SVS Sub.

I used to have M60ti's and now have M80V2's, which I've notied some improvement overall in sound. Axiom, through constant research and development, makes changes (some major, some minor) to the crossovers, drivers, etc. I would say from ti's to V3's they have made a lot of changes, and I would suspect in a blind A/B test the listener should be able to tell in a positive way. All the drivers and crossover are different from the TI series. But, unless you did a blind test, I'm sure the TI's still sound great.

Can't help you on the binding post issue.

Binding post issue, sounds like the bi-amping capability to me. You can do 1 of 2 things here, I believe. If your not going to bi-amp you can buy banana plugs that allows you to plug one plug into the top of another. I know those that Axiom sells that are 2 plugs in one piece allows you to do that. Another thing you can do is special order them from Axiom and have them install the 4 posts.

You run two different amps into the M60s while both are hooked up?

Ofcourse one is always off while the other is playing. In my home theatre, everything is hooked up to the Denon 3805. Once that is off so is everything else.

The amp that is off will still be getting a signal from the one that has power. I'm real surprised you haven't damaged anything.

I got you. I really hate banana Clips too. Being a military family, since I've owned My Axiom Speakers. I've lived in Colorado, Kansas, Texas, North Carolina and now Virginia. My banana clips have been bent and tossed. especially the ones that fit snug when you insert them.. Fuhgetaboutit.

If you are using the top post for one amp and the bottom for the second amp they are both getting the same signal. It would be no different than running both sets of wire to the same set of posts.

so you are saying that a signal from the Denon poa 1500 goes to the Axiom Speaker, Than from the Axiom speaker to the Sony Ta-n330 Amp and than to the Denon 3805?? Beside upgading components and speakers. I've been running it like that for 10 years now. I think I bought my Axiom speakers in 2002 or 2003.

You are not using a speaker selector ? I must say if not it does surprise me nothing has went up in smoke....

Google "connecting 2 amps to the same speaker" and see what others say.
