Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater M100s?

I've pretty much run out of things to say. Some will be very pleased about that.

I'll post some sexy photos tomorrow in my other thread. There may be some speakers in those photos too. LOL!

I never thought I'd say it but I love my 600s. Whoever has my 600v2 ought to trade it in for the v4.

My dad is still using my hand-me-down v2. I wonder if it's still functioning. Axiom still hasn't gotten back to me about all of the stuff I am supposed to send in for trade-in. One of the EP800s I was going to send in was one I just replaced without it being part of the trade-in, since the amp went out, so maybe I can convince him to buy a new amp for that one.

That’s interesting .... Both Andrew and Debbie have mentioned some kind of FedEx return label issue which seems like it’s been going on for months now. (I also have a bunch trade-ins/exchanges waiting.)

Denon has several surround settings but to me it looks like it wouldn't be beneficial to use anything other than direct/auto, stereo, and multi-channel. Those three settings run audio direct from the source material. Just wondering what everyone else is using.

I really want to pull the trigger on the QS10s this month too but if my clients don't start paying their bills I won't get to take my year-end bonus. For shits and giggles I hooked up the QS8s and the studio 80s as side and rear surrounds.

Oh yeah? Are you a capo or an under-boss? Losing your bonus is better than getting whacked, tough guy.

I used to enjoy PLII and Neo a lot when I had passive speakers. With the actives, not so much. Sometimes though, PLII and Neo are very good. For example, the other week we were watching Norah Jones: Live in New Orleans. The 5.1 is horrible. Stereo is much better. And PLII and Neo are better yet.

How do the 100s sound? Are you getting width and depth and images across and into the stage?

Loving the 100s so far. The imaging and soundstage is amazing and something the Studio 80s lacked entirely. The 180 has been a massive upgrade as well. The 600 fills the room so much better than the 500 did too. With the 500 I could tell there was bottom end sound but it didn't really carry the room. The 600 seems to have massive sound in comparison even at lower volumes. I will probably tinker with audyssey this weekend just to see how much it wants to adjust my current settings.

The M80v2 were the same, dull presentation. I don't know about v3. v4 are all a completely different emotional impact. I'm considering trading in my 500s for 600s.

It's great that you are satisfied. I suggest adding one more 600 and arranging them opposite each other. For example, one in right front corner and the other in rear left corner. This did wonders in my living room with dual EP125s.

I moved the 600 from front left, which was more open, to front right, which is closer to a corner, and it has helped broadcast the sound further into the room. Sound now carries into the other half of the basement which is all storage area.

That makes sense. One of the wonderful things about these EP subs that no one talks about, is the fact that they maintain linearity even in a corner. You get maybe a 3dB boost in SPL in a corner but it's not a one-note boost.

Even though sound now is "bigger", it is not as articulate as it can be. A second 600 will help and you will hear the improved articulation.
