Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Hearing Things LFR-1100's and assorted tests to be done

He is persistent I will give him that. Annoying but persistent.

Lol.

The Revel F208s exhibit a similar bass hump. They are reguarded as reference, and not only for their price. So many variables in play. I messed with my setup (a lot) and viewed real time subjective response as objective levels changed. The M3/F208 response is where a balanced and pleasing sound ends up in room. They are set up that way so a sub is not a strict requirement.

With a dead flat response I'd be willing to bet most people will prefer a slight bass boost of 5db below 100ish hz or so for 2ch. This is supported by Sean Olive's own subjective group tests.

That guy really needs to put hands on stuff and measure and listen for himself. He frequents the Stereophile comments section. A gem indeed. A big, lumpy, brown gem.

His credibility is so low to anyone with half a brain that I think that he's met his match with Craig who has it in spades...

TAM

Craig has a great way of saying 'put your money where your mouth is' . He should definitely accept craigs generous offer and go show Craig how smart he really is.

Guys - The EP-350 arrived safely today. It's calibrated and delivering bass. So far, it is a pleasant surprise - it was room shaking on both Tron: Legacy and Star Trek 2009. It's not quite as deep as the SVS, while early listening seems to point to better articulation.

More serious listening along with a response curve will be posted later this week.

AND ... the mods stepped in and calmed things down.

OH ... A Hsu VTF-3 Mark V shipped today.

Good. One day, seven posts and they were all down on Axiom.

I'm looking forward to your review. It is interesting that Axiom has 'stuck to their guns' and gone for a much higher tuning for the EP350. It's all about tradeoffs I guess.

FWIW, I have a 10 year old 350 and, for the money I paid at the time, have no complaints. I am lucky that because of the acoustic properties of my room, otherwise known as a concrete bunker, I'm flat down to 20 Hz.

Since adding a feadback destroyer to tame some nasty peaks, I've had very clean, as far as I can tell, bass.

Yes, looking forward to your reviews Craig. Have you received/set up the second Klipsch yet?

Guys - Being the Axiom forum, it occurred to me that you might like to see the response curve in our 4800 cubic foot theater room with an EP-350:



Adrian - We did get the 2nd Klipsch. We had company for Thanksgiving, so I added it to the first sub for a couple of movies. My only "down side" with the Klipsch is they are a bit boomy in upper bass, but they sure do hit hard.

Can you post a graph for the LFR's in 2.0?
Pretty please....
