Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo On the way

Curiosity got the better of me.

Leema Zeros are not up to the job now I spun the room 90 degrees.... Have to push them into distortion to load the room on this long axis. Some tracks I started to notice. Now cant unhear it... Bonerz....

M5s. Rosewood. Natural. Piano. Broke. Lol.

After all this time I gave in.....

Good luck with the bass on the M5s in your living room. If anyone can tame them without "room EQ", you can.

Nice finish. Please post photos.

No sub?

P.S. How long before the island floods?

When you get them, experiment with the height.

setup on the long wall or short?

On the short which is unfortunate on one hand but fortunate on the other. He'll have a narrower soundstage but will be able to control bass better.

I think speakers on the short wall sound better than on the long wall.

Speakers on the short wall allow you to control depth of the soundstage much better. But soundstage width is too narrow. I suppose it depends how short your short wall is and if you care more about depth than width. If the short wall is 25 feet, no problem. You can have depth and width.

I had a few speakers on the short wall once.



Long wall is better for me.

You get a real woofer instead of that puny 4" Leema mid that has to pull double duty. And a real mid-woofer too with a very airy tweeter. A vortex sphincter is the icing on the cake.

Set up firing down length of room.

Bass no prob if measurements are true.

Yes to pics.

Will measure vert and horiz outdoors off step ladder first.

The amp is a Leema Tucana. Hoping they pair well and I can turn the dial further. I see the anechoic is likely <85db on the M5s. The Tucana likes being cranked... So we should be off to the races.

30% volume was the “please Sir, no more” mark with the Zeros. At that volume I can feel bass in my toes on ottoman and couch cushions. The designers squeezed a lot out of those little boxes! But physics is physics.

Frankly, I’m happy to join the Axiom owners club. Now I unlock that section of the forum. Lol.
