Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo Triggered pulled - Active LFR-1100's are on order!

LOL! Ok, I got it, Craig. BTW, do you know if the tweeters have a cap to protect them from possible DC levels?

Regarding the 31", it would be great if, at some point, you could experiment with putting them say 12" away and see how the image depth changes. Very few of us have the room or WAF to place them that far away. Andrew says the BGC switch on the DSP should really help with imaging in that kind of installation.

Phil, the other way to think about the wires is as follows: there are 5 cables going to each speaker: woofer array, front mid-woofer array, front tweeter array, rear mid-woofer array, rear tweeter array. Each of those cables has two ends - one for the amp and the other for the speaker. Each end has 2 wires - a positive and negative. So that's 5 cables * 2 wires/cable * 2 ends/wire = 20 ends. Since there are two speakers, that's 2 * 20 = 40 ends.

I'd help you wire, set these up and lock them into perfect "focus" if only I lived closer.

Thank you in advance Craig for keeping us all in the loop. You're a real credit to the hobby!

Phil, if you know your cable lengths, you could see if Axiom can provide you with all necessary cables including the ones between DSPs and amps.

Craig, is BGC set to zero?

BGC is set to off, and there will be a lot of different ideas tried, including close wall proximity.

We will also delve into 2.0 and 2.1 movie auditions, Audyssey tests with and without sub ... it's going to take months.

Yes, I know. I just want to make sure you don't miss anything in your test plan. :p

I sure wish you'd give up your day job for your hobby.

If the soundstage of perception were cleansed, every sound would appear to man as it is: infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro’ narrow chinks of his passive, bipolar speakers.

Took an hour and fired up Steely Dan's "2 against nature" CD tonight. The Actives let the dynamics through in a way I haven't heard since we had the Klipschorns here. And the Actives do it with a sense of pure music that the Klipschorns cannot match.

They also give almost subwoofer depth in bass on the synthesized kick drum. These speakers are worth the effort to set up, for sure.

Is the 1500-4 and 1500-6 combo enough?

They are not even breaking a sweat.

I think they're designed to spray more mids and highs out the back rather than the front. Just sayin'...
