Even though they were B stock, they should have been fine sonically, that's unfortunate.

The CV's I have in storage where the late 80's/early 90's satellite/subwoofer. The sub is passive, downfiring 10" in a big ole` box.

The other was the CLS line I heard at a store.

Both have that classic CV signature. Loud, "make you feel the music" sound.

Whats their new line, the CMX? They look like CV's on steroids.

No Dr. what I'm saying is that for the thump in the chest he is looking for, he will not find that in the majority of loudspeaker brands at any price. I don't call mains with 12" drivers true loudspeakers for 2 channel listening, that is why you include a sub. Which will do much better than one incorporated into the design.

My Realistic Mach 1's back in the late 70s/early 80's had 12" woofers, and did provide that thump I think Bob is looking for, however, today I've come to prefer a speaker like Axiom or Paradigm. The college thump thump wooooof wooooof days are over.

I do agree with Adrian that it is very unfortunate this happened, and the first time I've heard of these issues since becoming a member, with loose connections, etc. B-Stock is still new speakers and I would think Axiom would work with Bob on this issue.

Bye bobt.

This one has been strange from the beginning. He dumped an Onkyo Integra M504 true dual mono 4 ohm capable killer amp for no reason, refused to properly test his M80s, reminisced fondly about speakers which are old school thumpers, professed that he didn't like subwoofers when that is exactly what is needed to fill the 20-60Hz frequency range.

This was not a match that had a chance of working.

The M80s are accurate, pure and natural speakers comparable to really expensive, high end products.

They are not thumpers. They are Axioms.

I've heard things about Streem speakers.

Wow. I am just reading this thread for the first time and it sounded like a lost cause from the start. It is very odd that the speaker connectors just "fell off." Not saying that they didn't but very strange to me, and if so, very rare since I don't think that it has ever been reported here before.

Then to say that the M80s are lacking "some level" of bass is silly. It isn't the same as having a sub, but I remember listening to Randy's (Sirquack's) M80s a few years back. He was doing a demo for someone else at the time. I asked him "so which sub(s) are turned on?" since he had a few hooked up... He said, "None. That is just the M80s."

I was amazed at the bass level. Then again, he has a nicely treated room for sound, and my little theater room was terrible for acoustics. I was breaking about every rule out there with a room and my M60s due to limited HT room location possibilities in our house.

So the M80s have very nice bass, if you ask me. Again, not a kick you in the chest bass level from a big powered sub, but damn impressive.

My V4.0 of my theater in our new house will be "built to spec" with a good amount of the right treatments. I can't wait to hear what my M60s can do.
