Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler What Do You Do?

Chadmat - welcome and thank you. No need to get into the politics, but you put your life on the line and that deserves some kudos. I don't know if you have the Axioms or are considering a purchase, but if you have/get them, enjoy!!!

Ray3,

So far I have the VP150 and the QS8s in the rear, still have NHT2.5is in the front that I am pretty happy with. I have been impressed with the Axioms thus far and plan on adding the M80s to my setup in the future when the budget allows.

The only hard choice left in the system after the M80s will be HSU, SVS, or an Adire sub. But what a nice dilemmna to have!

This will come together nicely. What size room are you working with and waht does it open into relative to adjacent space? What receiver are you using? Do you have a big screen TV? Do you now or have you ever used..... - OH WAIT, different checklist.

Give us something to work with, otherwise we'll not be able to properly abuse you!!! Pete is is lurking out there somewhere waiting to pounce.

Ray,

My current setup is :
NAD T762 recevier
Pioneer DV-563
Venhaus Digital Interconnect
Kimber 8PR Kable (not trying to start wire debate, fried game me this for generic 12AWG prices, but I do like it a lot:)
NHT 2.5I Mains
VP150 Center
QS8 Rears
27 Inch TV

I can't give specifics on my room as I will be house hunting in Indianapolis this week-end. Once I returned from my exotic overseas trip, it was time to move again. Hope to find a place with a good size room for the home theater. Ultimate room size should be around 14x12 for most of the houses I have seen on the internet. That Adire Rava sub looks to be pretty sweet, by chance do you have any information on the Rava versus the SVS and HSU offerings,

Chad

For a 14x12 room, I'd consider the M60s over the M80s. The m80s are a bit picky about placement and you couldn't really sit far enough away from them to enjoy their full sound.

My living room is 12x13 and between the couch, coffee table, and cabinet I have my TV and components in, I wouldn't know where to put big speakers.

I'd probably stick with M22 unless you only want to look at towers. My room is 12x18 and the 22's fill it without a problem. M60's might be a little big for that room, although I'm sure you could get them to work.

I'll bet you enjoy the T762. I've heard nothing but good things about it. Nothing from personal experience on the Rava. I have seen quite a few discussions at the AVS Forum (you might check over there) that indicate this is sub a lot of people like. In a 14x12 room, you won't need a monster sub and the HSU STF-2 might be a pretty good choice to get you started. Good quality, good performance, good price.

BTW, based on the room size, the pointer to the M60s or M22s is good advice. SInce you will likely move to larger digs as time goes on, I'd nudge you to the 60s.

For your own piece of mind, give Axiom a call to discuss and you might find that you can save a few $$ to put towards a sub.

You guys need to take this "content" to some ON-Topic thread. Sheesh.
