Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Thoughts on this for the money.....

I haven't been able to find much info on this unit. The price seems right. My only concern would be driving my M80's with it.

IMHO even $400Can for PE 811 used is a joke
FIrst - you can get brand new PEvsx-d912 with auto calibration for $300US+dues+shipping, will be about the same 400can ( well, little higher)
811 brand new is priced at about $220US.

And - it is rated ONLY 8-16oms
If you search and with some luck you can find onlyo601 for $300-320 ( they closing that model line now )
I demoed 601 it had no problems with 4om load.

I'd have to agree. I don't think that is a very good value, and I don't think Axiom recommends driving the M80's with anything except separates, high-end receivers or "budget" Denon or HK receivers.

I looked at the Pioneer 811 and 912 receivers before settling on the Denon 1804. I'm happy with my choice.

If $600-$1500 receivers is budget...

Denon and HK are the only 'low ends' that will drive M80's.

I have a denon 1602 and have never had a problem with M80's.
