Well, I tried putting one in the left front corner, and the other on the front wall about 5 feet from the same corner. Calibrated with 8033. Result = Yawn again...

So just for giggles, I moved them back to positions equidistant from the listening position, but now inboard of the main speakers. I haven't recalibrated with the 8033 yet, but initial impressions = WOW!

Now the rig is cooking! I have a second 8033 on the way, and I plan to run them in stereo with each channel independently equalized.

The most interesting thing is that when the audio program has no low bass, you'd never know that the subs were there at all. But when the drums kick in, now they sound like DRUMS. I put some Mickey Hart on and that big drum does sound big!

I always check phase before doing ANY listening.


My opinion is worth exactly what you're paying for it!

So has anyone here tried Hegel amplifiers with their Axiom speakers? It should seem that they'd be a fair match. I'll soon be trying the Hegel H80 with my M80s & we'll see how they go...

Boom

Hegel H80 with my Axiom M80s = No.

And what makes the Hegel H80 not like your Axiom speakers?

So best sound to date with my Axiom M80s =

Two subwoofers crossed over at about 50 Hz.
Emotiva XPA-1L mono amplifiers (but run in class A/B)
Oppo BDP-105 DAC used with DNLA streaming over ethernet

THIS setup makes the M80s sit up & sing! It also adds what sounds like an extra octave of very, very low bass to the presentation without thickening the crossover frequency or the octave above.

I heard a rig yesterday that cost 3x what mine did, and mine sounded better! The M80s are just flat out amazing speakers!

Now I want imaging like a pair of KEF LS50s from my Axiom M80s. I'm assuming that wider speaker placement and more clearance from all walls would be a starting place?

And I'd like my Ford Edge to accelerate like a Tesla , corner like Ferrari, top speed like a Bugatti Veyron and fuel economy like a Toyota Prius. I'm not asking for much as i?

I just want to be zapped from place to place instantly.



Can you imagine what that would do to the lines at the world's best breweries, though?
