After lurking around here for years I finally bought some Axioms. Bought an auction pair of M3s to be used in a bedroom stereo set up. I'm a little disappointed the Burled Walnut is no longer available but that Smokey Grey looks pretty cool.
edit, just checked I guess the official name is "Charcoal Smoke" Edited by lucv13 (01/12/12 04:08 AM) |

Wonderful!
Based upon the title alone, I thought it was going to be golf clubs! ![]()

I hope you love your threes as much as I love mine.

Once your ears start using them, your vidi-balls will turn a blind eye. Have a blast with 'em, Luc the Lurker!

Nice purchase; I have a friend who's looking into a pair of M3's. I'm interested to hear your opinion after you spend some time with them.

Purchased yesterday, expected delivery today - can't go wrong there. Problem is, I'm still in the negotiating stage of the 2 channel system, well I mean that I've accepted his counteroffer and still waiting for the seller to send me his info so I can pay him. Oh well I guess I'll just have to set up the M3s with the Anthem for now.
Should be a fun weekend as they will be pitted firstly against my Studio 60s and then to be a little fairer I will compare them to my Atom v5s |

Excellent! Post a comparisons here. The Studio 60 M3 match up should be interesting. Given the design approach for both (flat and neutral), I expect they will sound like they come from the same family.
The M3 Atom comparo will be interesting as well. I don't think I have ever seen a direct comparison of those two.

Well the M3s came in on time and so far I am impressed, the packaging used for shipping is the best I have seen, the speakers look great, have good weight to them and the finish is impeccable. Now the bad news, the deal I was working on for an IA and CDP went south and I just haven't had the time to hook up the M3s to listen to them.
Have been doing some research for a new Integrated Amp and have decided to take a chance on a Chinese tube integrated (because I'm cheap) and it's inexpensive (maybe cheap too - time will tell) ![]() Anyways these are the spec, it's a nice looking amp though Output Power 15 watts x 2 Output Tube 6P1 x 4 Frequency 5Hz-70KHz Driver Tube 6N3 Distortion Less than 1% at full power Input Consumption <80w Signal/Noise Ratio 90d Ohms 4 ohms and 8 ohms Input Jack 2 groups (CD Input ,AUX Input = USD & SD Card) Size Dimension Width 260mm x Height 140mm x Depth 210mm Colour Black Body With Silver Handle & Black Power Supply Weight 10 kg Packing Includes All the Tubes / Valve + Standard 1.5m (5 ft) Power Cord ![]() |
