If the specs are the same as the Tucana II, you won't have any problem driving the M5s. Admittedly my Pioneer and the ADA-1000-2 did not fare well with the M5s in my main room. Just as I turned them up a bit to rock out, they'd both stop the party.
The ADA-1500-3 is a different story. No problem there. They took everything the 1500 could dish out although the sound did get ratty.

Why did I chose wait 21 days! Lol. Cheap bastard I am.
Pretty excited.
Its been a long time since I had new toys to play with. I wonder if Covid made an upturn in sales for Axiom.
People spending a lot of time close to home now.

People spending a lot of time close to home now. Actually it did according to Debbie. I got the same feedback from a local audio shop owner here too. Lots of stereo systems, not so much HT setups. Evidently people are spending their money in different ways including adding quality sound to the home en masse.

Many have all of a sudden discovered their homes.

Not here yet. Think its 21 business days. Not in a panic. I have to make new stands for them anyhow and my garage is a duct workshop right now. Table saw and chopsaw are buried. Covid definitely turned our attention to our home and being here cooped up has led to lots of projects.... Going to wait until they land and make some stands after I measure them. Andrew could save me the trouble if he could share the vertical plot.

Trevor, don't make stands until you have a chance to experiment. Forget the vertical plot. Try them with the tweeters 6" below ear level. The degree to which you hear what I hear and my friend hears with hers will depend on how far away you place them from the front wall. Look at how low she has them. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/hXHmq8Mt/20200125-123340.jpg)

Will do for sure. Smart setup choice for her room. My room is more dead for sure and has thick throw rugs so likely the treble balance wont be quite the same. Will end up with cinderblocks on end wrapped in fancy fabric for a short while likely. At the rate of missions ahead of me maybe till spring.... lol.
Height would be dang close.... hmmmm.

Cinderblocks are cool. Get the missus to decorate them.

I used the M2ti boxes as a center speaker stand for an embarrassingly long time... possibly right up until a VP180 with stand replaced the VP100.
That reminds me, I think the VP180 stand instructions said I should screw them to the speaker... don't think I ever did that. Or maybe there were threaded inserts. I should check.
