Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners M80's VS Polk RTi A9's

Sure it's a realtime listing. If you click on Products for Sale, then go to tower speakers, then pull out to M80s, there they are. The only pair right now, but I imagine there will be more soon.

WOW..OK..thats kind of strange they don't show up if you just look at the Auctions page. I presume i have to create a new login for that to be able to bid on anything. Guess i just can't call the toll free Number. Plus of course i will not have the money till next week (whatelse is new) I sold one of my guitars to pay for this, and the guy will not show up till next week with the cash.

Yup, you'll need to create a login. They don't show up on the main page, since that is only the most recently posted list.

Thanks Ken. The problem right now is i have to wait till next week, as i sold 1 of my guitars to pay for this and the guy will not show up with the cash till then. (what else is new)

While i sit hear and wait, I do have a question about power. I have an Onkyo M-504 power amp, dual mono block, hi current. At 4 ohms it's putting out an easy 250 watts per channel.

Now I "assume" with the dual 6.5 bass drivers,and the ports, using this power, i should get the bass i need for most "classic" rock...and still put out the volume level i expect.
I've had no problem pushing other speakers with this amp, but the M80's are not the same as the Polks.

I have NO interest in returning these speakers, and from what Cary has said..i don't see why i should have any reason.

But if these speakers need to be bi-amped for there best performence, as i may be lacking in watts, then i should know now before i get them. As that is an option now.

You don't need to worry about that. Bi amping really does nothing when you're talking about home audio. To do true biamping, you need to have crossovers before the amps, rather than after the amps in the speakers. And you REALLY have to know what you're doing to tune the crossovers, etc. A 250WPC amp will do just fine with the M80s.

thanks again Ken. I don't really think there should be a problem power wise. I have run this power amp with 2 sets of speakers, a set of old (large) Advents and the Polks at extreme volumes, (with a room full of drunks, dancing..LOL) and never had any problem...LOL It has the set up to do this, which most amps don't. So i don't see a problem.

Hey Grunt

The Toto; In Between The Live Concert (blu-ray) is not only the best recoreded concert I have ever heard on my system, it's also the best performed concert I have ever heard on my system. For the life of me I don't understand why this band isn't more popular in N. America. Great music that stands the test of time. In my opinion they're as good as Yes, Rush, and many more!
