Thank you. Just got a new man cave so it was time for a clean sweep. This is my first experience with Axiom's but after much research I replaced my older B&W / JBL Northridge / Boston Acoustics setup with something that should be a bit better matched across the spectrum. Am really looking forward to dialing the rig and the room in. Will keep you posted.

Welcome, Jeremy! Do yourself a favor, and pickup a Radio Shack sound level meter (unless you have one lying around already) and just balance the system's levels manually w/o Audyssey. Try that for a week or two before running Audyssey again so you have a point of comparison.
Some feel that Audyssey helps, some feel it really hurts. I know you can likely bypass it for comparison, but then the speakers aren't balanced, either.
Give yourself two weeks to establish a baseline!

And I learned to brew my own beer at school! They didn't offer that to my son at Pre-K here. Something seriously wrong with that.

Thanks Mark. I've been using the Performance Audio app for the iPhone and everything's sitting at 75db pretty nicely right now which is not too far from where the Audyssey put it. I've been A - B'ing the direct and Audyssey modes. Just really need to work on the cross over points and do some sub and manual eq tweaking but I do feel like the ball is still moving a little. It's probably because the Outlaw amp & sub need to settle in just as much as the speakers, they only have a few hours on them too.

Nice! Axiom should be the official speaker at Old Trafford.
