Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo Out with the new and in with the newer

I remember asking jakeman what "real" bass sounds like. He told me to listen to Take Five. That's been my yardstick since then. I've never heard it in the room like this. Just friggin incredible!

I really hate to say this but I have to. The M100s are total junk compared to these. Sorry, not even close.

OK, these are a real game changer. You can FEEL these without turning them up to ridiculous levels. And you can hear things that were totally cloaked in other speakers like the M100s. I think whoever "professionally" reviews these is in for a real shock. I really am not exaggerating.

Phil, I don't believe you've heard better than these. I think you don't know how to set them up properly. Get your ass on a plane and come here to listen.

These are the first real speakers I've had. Everything prior to this moment was nothing more than teasing. But I couldn't possibly know how good these are without experiencing all the prior garbage.

Mojo - had my 7th 14 hour day in the last 8 days. So all I can say is cool stuff!

A little harsh trashing v4's to make your A-LFR point ... but like Craig ...

I guess you like them then ... a 2nd thumbs up ...

What can I say, Rich? Sure I have all these passive v4 here and I've enjoyed them...until now. I will say this. I still have not heard imaging like the M5s image in my main room. Their imaging in that room is quite uncanny really. Perhaps though when I take the A-LFRs downstairs, they will be even better in that department.

One thing I do know is I want active M5s in the living room with dual 500s. The LFRs are too damned big for that room even though they sound fantastic. Once you've heard actives, there's no going back to passives.

I thought I heard clear triangles with the M5 and M100 until I heard these. Sure the passive v4 were miles ahead of the v2 but these are light years away.

Oh boy... reading all this makes my FedEx status even more difficult to digest:
CLEARANCE DELAY

;(

I’ll have to live through your commentary for a few more days Mojo!

You got a FedEx status? I was backing out to go to work today when the FedEx truck drove up. I'm looking at him and he's looking at me and I get out and approach him and say "You got something for me?" And he says "Oh yes sir. Many things. Can you help me please?"

I go to the back with him and see Axiom boxes toppled on top of each other and feared the worst. I asked him what he'd do if I wasn't there and he said "I would leave it right in front of your garage door, sir." LOL!
