Another vote for the B stock M100s, used the trade up option to go from my M80s v2 to the M100s, absolutely love them!!! If you can swing it, I would highly recommend them.

Aren't they friggin' amazing compared to the M80v2? All I kept reading from owners was the M100s had more bass than the old M80s - that's it! Then I get them and in 10 seconds of ABing I realize they're a completely different animal. LOOOOOL!

Awesome, Thanks guys. I am trying to get a hold of Ian as I am typing lol. I think I will be trying for the M100's and build from there. What would be the best Center channel fit for M100's?

Justin, for you it would definitely be the 180 with HP woofers but you may be able to get away with the standard 160 if you cross it over at 80Hz.

I have the standard 160v4 and I can't say enough good things about it. Every v4 I've heard is amazing. I have my 160 crossed over at 40Hz by the way.

The best way to get a hold of Ian is via email.

FYI, I have heard the 180v4 as well. I honestly did not hold out too much hope for it when I first saw it on the Axiom site because I really did not like the sound from my 150v2 and the driver configuration is similar. However, it is nothing like my 150v2. You can have full confidence that if you go the 180 route, it will sound terrific.

Okay, Thank you. I talked to Ian and have the M100's ordered in the boston cherry colour I am so excited to receive them. How long does it usually take to ship on average if I may ask?

Nice. It really depends on how busy the factory is. I'd say 3 weeks tops.

BTW, you're gonna be able to dump your entire ADA-1250 into them no problem. Your ADA will give out before the M100s do.

What are you using for sources?

My $0.02 would be to go with three M5HP's first.
Pretty sure you're gonna love them.
I don't have them but they're next on the list.
M80HP's and and axiom amp in my room sound pretty damb nice.
My current room is narrower than I'd like, thus the M5HP suggestion.

Are you thinking of switching out your m80s for M5s? Are they v4?
