In the meantime, you could enjoy a better design and trade it in later.

I don't know what's wrong with her. Does she not find omnidirecrional speakers romantic? smile

Just read your m5 review on the axiom website mojo. Pretty high praise. Nice review. Good work.

Edit: sent some posts but they didn’t show up. Weird. Tried to repost but it said post button disabled , posts are sent. So where are they? Maybe they’ll show up in a bit.

Thanks, man. The 800 was the first v4 eye-opener for me and then the M5s clinched it.

It's surely an informative post but not as much fun as this one:

Very well done indeed!!

Big John was a bit before my time. 2005 I think. Legend has it he disappeared down one of the vortex ports he loved so much.

Figured out what happened to my other posts. You can’t use emojis. My posts got booted I guess. Just tried another emoji and same thing happened. Oh well.

I had posted something to the effect of wanting to know what size rooms are people using m5hp cabinet in and what kind of bass response are you getting? I’ve read mojos review in 4200 cubed space. Vs an m80v2. Any other folks out there with anecdotal experience?

Kodiak, I'll listen with the amp this weekend. That will probably make a difference. I've swapped the ti with the v4 already. ti is significantly brighter, most would say too bright. It's what my ears are used to.


Lots of speakers from many
manufactures...mostly Axiom

Good morning.

Look forward to hearing your review. I think it’s great you know what you like and went for it. As long as you like what it sounds like then who cares!! I personally have no issue with the ti tweet when not toed or at zero / no angle. But I have to admit with them toed in they can be bright on less then good recordings. Some “ sssswonderful “ songs sound sibilant sometimes. ( see what I did there.....).

Are you just changing out the m100 tweets ( makes sense ) or will you do your surrounds too?

Even with the ti tweets in you should try getting them lower to ear level. In my opinion it makes a difference, at least in my space it did. I realize that maybe it’s not practical to leave them there though. It’s just fun to experiment.
