Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater M100s?

Yeah I ordered a set. I think they’ll help stabilize the towers. I hooked everything up and played a few tunes through it. All I can say is wow. The soundstage is amazing. I still haven’t dialed them in yet but the improvement over the Studio 80s is impressive. Also, the 600 is a major difference over the 500 in my room. I will really sit down and push these speakers over the weekend. I can’t wait to see how they sound once I get everything set up properly. To be continued...

Canes, the M100s are very good but they are like Studio 80s compared to active LFR1100s.

With the actives and multiple sealed subs, I now yearn for absolutely nothing!

The actives are on my wish list for sure. My dad may want to buy the 100s from me after he hears them.

The M100s are without question the most bang for your buck speaker on the market. I've been listening to lots of high-end speakers and just love the value the M100s. Even had the chance to hear KEF blades and B&W 800 D3s last week which cost tens of thousands more. Those beasts perform better but nobody in their right mind would spend that kind of money after listening to a pair of M100s which cost 3k compared to 30k.

It's also worth noting that I took a B&W 702 s2 a few days ago and placed it next to a M100. With a little PEQ you could barely hear a difference. The 5k 702's had a slightly better sound stage but it was not noticeable to anyone else but me, the guy who spent the extra money on the 702s.

Canes, what do you having pushing your new 100s?

My personnel experience dialing them in (my not ideal listening environment) is to adjust the EQ to dip in the mids with a good bump on the highs. The 100s have incredible low bass extension so you don't have to do much there. I recommend an SLM for setting levels after distance. But you probably know all that stuff.

In my living room, I'd put the M2OWv4/dual 125v4 against any of the speakers in your signature, Rebulx. No EQ allowed and fed with my Pioneer. I'd even put them against the Axiom actives, KEF blades and any B&W floor-stander or bookshelf. M2OW = RESPECT!

We'll see how the M5OW fare come Monday.

Looking forward to hearing about the m5OW comparison.

That’s some high praise coming from both of you guys. M100s vs b and w and m2ow ep125 vs everything!!!

Those m2ow and ep125 must just be the perfect match to your room size and all. And careful placement too maybe. That’s awesome.

It is indeed a serendipitous coupling of room, speaker, speaker location and MLP. No floor-stander or bookshelf can defeat physics and do what the on-walls do.

I'm not sure I can't jump on that band wagon mojo, but I can say for certain that after buying all these speakers, I LOVE AXIOM even more than before and will be buying many more.

As it is right now, you have enough speakers to build a few home theatres.
