Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners EP125 or EP175

I look forward to your review!! The suspense is killing me. ( not really. ). Smirk. I’ve been patient this long for any upgrades so I’ll happily wait. I’m kinda hoping and holding out for some kind of Black Friday and Xmas sales.

I wouldn’t have a way to choose the cross over other than what is on the axiom plate amp. My yammie is not an adjustable avr. But that’s a good thought for a feature to look for in a new integrated to take some of the “ strain “ off the towers.

It’s nice to be back chatting with you and every body. Cheers.

All newer receivers have it. Even the cheapest ones.

Adjusting the cross-over on the plate amp doesn't unburden the speakers BTW. You can set the sub's cross-over to 80 and just let the 60s play low. Or you could turn down the bass on the yammy and boost the volume on the sub.

Not sure you know but Andrew worked over the 125v4 good. It's almost as good as the 175v3. I'd bet it sounds better than the 175v3. Andrew's the real deal. He's an engineer's engineer. Do you know he broke the laws of physics on the Air N3? He's making 30 Volts from a 15 Volt battery. That's how he gets 75W a side. He takes constructive feedback too because he's humble enough to know goodness can come from many sources.

P.S. I should bring the M100s over.

I had a feeling Andrew was the real deal. I can tell from his videos he’s low key and humble. It’s a good thing in my opinion. It’s a good fit with axiom as I’ve always considered the company as low key and understated but the products speak for themselves.

Anyway, that’s good info re: the reworking of the ep125. I think it’s a serious consideration. I’m not needing the visceral effects for movies , but I do want some underpinning for full range music. It just might fit the bill in my space.

Y’all are a wealth of knowledge. Thanks.

Ps. Or I just buy m100s and not need any subs!

Do you have a big space? Might be a cool idea to trade in?

M100s!

Just make sure you can set them up with space around them.

He has around 3300 cu ft and open to the rest of his abode. Wood stove too. Want that!

His M60ti are used.

Yup. They’re used. So no upgrade there. But M100 or LFR actives realistically will be a future setup when I move.

I’m kinda focussed on having the best sound I can get from these m60s for now and not spending a ton of $$$. ( bc I’m spending it elsewhere!!)

Mojo you could have a wood stove too!! It’s not a complicated install......there’s even a really cool forum for wood burning junkies. You’d love it.

Edit: yes I’m member of that wood burning forum. Super nerd.

I'd never install it myself. I'd end up burning my audio gear...LOL! I love fires, man. I am out on my deck all the time lighting up the fire-pit and playing with my knives pretending I'm out in the forest. My Air Freedom is out there too. Now that I have the battery for the Force, I'll be using that a lot more.

Kodiak, I've been thinking about your predicament. You have an older receiver. You also really seem to like your holographic imaging which I think only a few of us on this board seem to appreciate - maybe because of proper room or set-up.

I have found fewer drivers image better. I can drop the M2 bookshelves pretty much anywhere and instant holography. And frankly, they go loud enough even with an ancient receiver. But they do need subs. Maybe you ought to consider a couple of M2v4 bookshelves and EP125v4.

I am willing to bet they will be more satisfying than your M60ti.

Thanks for putting some good thought into my setup. Most appreciated. It’s crazy , I get in a tizzy over upgrading and get bent on ideas and then eventually calm down.

I like your idea actually. It would be a nice setup. I had a similar thought with m5hp with twin ep350. M2 with with 350s? The nice thing with sub satellite system is it frees up a ton of power in my amp to power the bookshelves only. It effectively gives me more overhead not having to power the bass woofers of the m60

I had a nice session today again with Acoustic Guitar Coffee House etc and I’m totally blown away how amazing it sounded. It’s great to get back to basics and sit and really listen. It’s a great modest system.

I didn’t really expect to get so caught up in this hobby. I thought I’d get some ok speakers plug em in and enjoy. But I want more and better now that I have a taste of what’s possible. !!!

So I’m basically right where I started almost a year ago. !! Enjoying my m60s.

Also, this is a good predicament to have really!!

M2 with subs you say? Hmmmmmmm

Edit: m22 with subs.....also hmmmmmm.

Too many choices. I'm trying to get the 125s in here as soon as possible with 21 day ICW.
