Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo Are Axiom not good rock speakers???

WOOHOO!!! I'm not the only prog rock fan in here i see. Yes it's VERY sad that most people don't know of Porcupine Tree. They're the "Brit band" (i.e. Coldplay, Travis) that truly deserves more radio play. I have heard Blackest Eyes (from In Absentia) on the radio in Austin and once when I was at school (La Tech), but never anywhere else.

Monstermile...I highly recommend their entire collection because each cd is different, but most people start with In Absentia and work their way back. Personally, I listen to Lightbulb Sun most often and it sounds SO sweet on Axioms (M22's). There's some many suttle details in that album. I'm still dying to see PT live and i think that i missed possibly the best show ever from their last tour. Opeth and Porcupine Tree toured together *sigh*. Well, hope you enjoy their music. It's really great.

The best rock speakers you can get.
sorry..couldnt resist

LOL! Awesome.

LOL! I knew it was coming but I expected it from Peter (pmbuko).

Hehe. Quite a... 'natural' soundstage for rock music. Perhaps a bit 'hard' sounding.

a bit rough around the edges, and the sound quality tends to erode over time....

Its funny 'cause they look like rocks!

Monstermile, get the song "Hail Ceasar" off AC/DC's Ballbreaker cd. You will truly be impressed at the quality of the recording.

Actually, the entire CD sounds fantastic. Since there were no "hits" on this one, you should be able to pick it up used pretty cheap. It's standard AC/DC fare, and although it is not their best work, it IS the best sounding AC/DC cd I have.

Give em a little time, I got M60 front VP150 center 3 QS8 surrounds Klipsch 10" sub. I definetely heard a difference after about 100 hours of play. I even left music on while away. I didn't hear much difference when moving them around but after breakin I definately heard a difference and I have an inexpensive receiver, a Dennon AVR 883 80X6 Watt at 8 ohm. I must say that I had 1970's equipment Technics SA-5460 65X2 and Pioneer HPM 100 speakers that didn't need a subwoofer. I would have to call the 2 systems close to equal for music. What is amazing is that I tried the Pioneer speakers with 5 different 2 channel and surrround receivers ranging from 75 - 110 Watts per channel and none of them could poduce the bass from those Pioneers like that old Technics receiver.

I was wondering what happened to Monstermile and his rock and roll collection. You still out there, buddy?

I'm dying to know if you have broken in, gotten used to, or found the proper setup yet?

I found my old Sony CDP405 5 CD changer/player last week (I moved - OK 2 years ago, I just didn't unpack all the way). I loaded it up with: Iron Maiden - Piece of mind, AC/DC - Back in Black, Ted Nugent - Great Gonzos, Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon, and Supertramp - Breakfast in America.

I hit the "random program" button and let it run most of the afternoon while I was working around the house.

All I can say is... WOW! Who let the musicians into my house? Where are they hiding all of their junk?

The only thing missing is the bill from the trashed hotel room.

Angus! Quit diving off my Mits!
