Will the DSP work with the existing Axiom speakers?

I dont think there would be any point, i think the main job of the DSP is to make the rear speakers and front speakers play nice with each other, and since this is the only speaker with both front and rear speakers, it would be the only speaker in the lineup that would require/ have the ability of taking advantage of the DSP..


Andrew, can you say what the size of the DSP box will be? Will it be a 19ish" unit, the standard HT component size?

In the case of this new model, you are correct. However, there are other areas of the other models in our line-up that we can significantly improve with a DSP.

The DSP is housed in a 19" wide chassis and is a standard 2U rack height.

Maybe some 8 year old M60ti's? smile

Do you know if Ian will have a price for the M100 at the show this weekend?

I think my wallet will be safe from this one. I will go have an audition but I was hoping for something a little bit different. Looks like a M80 with a M22 or W22 on it's back. That thing should be call a M102! :-)

I don't like the grille either.

Dan, there's nothing novel about speakers with a set of drivers also on the back, as I mentioned as a possibility in a previous post. For example, Definitive Technology has an extensive series of BiPolar speakers. These lead to a more nearly omni-directional output. The new story here is the electronic processing that will be applied to the back speakers, possibly making phase and/or frequency modifications to the signals sent to them.

I am NOT a huge fan of BiPolar speakers used for the front channels but I guess I will reserve judgement till some of the pro magazines like Stereophile, S&V and Audioholics reviews them. I am curious to hear a set myself too.

Unless I am mistaking, the DSP must go between the processor and the amplifier. This is all done in the analog domain which IMO is a disadvantage.

For speakers like M60s/M80s, how can this be advantageous over a good room correction system like Audyssey or TACT which is all done in the digital domain and actually measures the room-speaker interaction to come up with a correction curve?

Wouldn't the timing be a nightmare? depending on each situation and distances away from the wall... unless there is a specified distance from the wall; i would think that the timing of the rear speakers would vary with each persons room. Since each room introduces variables that determine optimal distance from the wall and almost no 2 rooms are the same......

Alex, since the exact nature of the signal processing is unknown to us, we can only hope that Axiom has solved some of the problems which have affected such speakers.

Okay, here's the image Andrew has been waiting for!



And all the images from earlier in the thread are replaced with a lipsticked version (as Steve would say!)
