I'm just gonna say this about the Axioms before I make swine, eggs and cappuccino for breaky. Now that I've had a chance to listen to most of the Axiom line-up, I can finally understand what Ian has done for us all. He's left no one behind. Regardless of budget, room, style or taste, he has something for everyone. And it all sounds very good. That's truly something to be very proud about.

Craig, one of the things I really like about my 160v4 right now is that it sounds like it's coming from my TV. The 160 is sitting right below the TV; the top of it is almost touching the bottom of the TV. I'd be curious to know if you get that "coming from the TV" effect with the active LFR.

Mojo - Vocals are nicely engaged from the TV with "just" the Active 1100's. And beyond that, it's a seamless soundstage for both depth and width.
Even watching football is fun - you get a real feel for being there. An example is when the team bands start playing - it's palpable.

Thanks, Craig. That's actually quite impressive given the fact your TV is set back from the driver plane of the LFRs by about 3 feet.

Craig, did you vaporize yourself with the active LFRs?

It has been a busy couple of days - month end at the dealership and some other business issues.
BUT ... my music education son, the guitar instructor, was over tonight. He was astonished at how well the Actives reproduce acoustic guitar and drums.
As an aside - last spring, I did a review of a pair of American made "Human speakers" from the company that took over when Genesis Physics closed in the 80's.
They are a fantastic speaker - 8 inch woofer, hand built 1 inch dome tweeter - think EPI from the late 70's (Genesis Physics was formed by 2 EPI engineers).
My son has those in his dorm room, and loves them. His ear for music is tremendous, and he thinks the Actives are unlike anything he ever heard.
He is also the next gen audiophile. Dad got him a turntable for Christmas, and he loves the hobby.

Wait till your son hears Ian's new ribbon design that will have quad opposed 10 inch subs (2 per side), a 1600 watt subwoofer amp ... Quad 6.5 inch woofers - Triple 5.25 inch mids front and back and a new, Colquhoun Labs Ribbon Tweeter array front and back.

He's not that ambitious. He will "settle" for the Actives 1100's.

When you upgrade in a year, he can have them. My son knows he can talk with Uncle Ian when he's ready to get serious.
