Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Tried out the 11.2 System

High roller Philip has us chasers bleeding.

Mojo you reminded me ... I had a question about a picture he posted ...

Philip, How do you expect the LFR's to do their thing if you have them in that alcove?? (not to mention the 600 in the way of rear reflection path)

Power does add something but it's also the larger cabinet per driver which allows it to play a bit lower (the 800 is built like two 500s stacked on each other ... at least that is how I understood it from a conversation with Ian a while back). I'm not exactly sure why that is as I'd expect all the frequencies to be raised equally leaving the frequency bounds of the +/- 3db window unchanged). Perhaps it's just that those lower frequencies are moved slightly above the threshold of hearing ...

The 2nd aspect of having two speakers over one is smoothing the bass room response ... that's my main reason for going to 4 subs ...

They are about 3' out from the alcove wall. They sound pretty good! That's how the house came. Not much I can do about it.

When the homies from my childhood ethnic laborhood were faced with a thorny predicament like speakers wedged into an alcove, they torched their pad, collected the cash, and started over. Make us all proud, Philip.

I really like this place. There are enough places burning down here in the lower 48.

I have 3 big palm trees in the backyard, wrapped with lights, beautiful at night. Behind them are a stand of Torrey Pines, messy in the spring when they have an evergreen sex orgy, but beautiful year round. The room layouts permit 75" screens in 3 rooms. I have 2 and shoulda gone 75 in the other. It's also a pretty good layout for audio, alcoves notwithstanding.

No, no torching here.

The new LFR Actives and EP600s have arrived. They are so beautiful !! One LFR arrived damaged, and Ian, bless his heart, is taking care of it. The EP600s are where they belong. The LFRs are standing in the hallway, awaiting a replacement.

Thanks FedEx

This is how they arrived.

Very, very nice Philip. So disappointing to hear the shipper, yet again, treated Axioms the same way Jason Statham treats his victims.

Sounds like a great place!

You must rate ... they went the extra mile
A much better bang up job then I've ever got

Usually they just drop it on it's corner from 6 or 7'
or run it though with a pole or something

Yeah, that be the fork lift special. No, they just rolled these from Ontario
