You are right Mojo, bit of an explorer. I wanted to see what the fuss was about on all reviews from a commercial brand; and its way easier to return to Costco than to Axiom. However, that sound cut out turned out to be a keyboard chair interface problem (me). If you hook the two with wires, which these allow (but its a signal wire, secondary has its own amp), Primary sends signal to Secondary over the wire, no more wireless, but you have to go in the configuration app on the phone and tell it to use the wire, else it keeps using wireless which is a bit like weather. So that problem solved. I am going to listen to these some more and decide if they should stay or go. Wish it was easier to audition Axioms  I freakin' advised you dude to not buy anything wireless. It don't matter if you've connected it up via ethernet. The shit don't work and I knew you'd have problems. I also advised you to get the less expensive M1 computer speakers with a sub. The M2 will also work but they're more expensive. And a sub. However, it's pretty darned clear to me that you are an explorer, and that's OK. You will have to discover for yourself I suppose. The M1 and M2 will give you clarity, soundstage and imaging. The M3 is less clear, imaging is more fuzzy and the sound is thicker which some prefer. The M3, depending on how you place it, may boom due to the upper bass bump in the amplitude response curve. Trust me. I own almost everything Axiom.

If you are enjoying those KEFs, I'd recommend you stop exploring and just chill. Of course you can never know how good those KEFs are until you try M1, M2, M3. BTW, without a sub, you'll be missing out no matter what you buy unless you move to active LFR1100s.

BTW, without a sub, you'll be missing out no matter what you buy unless you move to active LFR1100s. Please do tell. How does Active LFR1100 make you all of a sudden not need a sub. And while you are at it, please explain what you have 3 subs hooked up to your Active LFR1100? You had just said that these speakers don't need a sub in the above quote then an hour later in https://www.axiomaudio.com/boards/u...advice-on-family-room-setting#Post444539 tell us how you have not only the largest sub Axiom makes (EP800) but an additional two EP600. Apparently the LFR1100 need to have 3 subs to work adequately in your room.

Wish it was easier to audition Axioms if you were in the GTA then I'd say come on over and you can give them a listen yourself. Or if you offer a beer, I'd drive them over to your house and you can give them a listen in your own home setup.

Apparently the LFR1100 need to have 3 subs to work adequately in your room. Sure. I'd be more than pleased to share that information for the 87th time Mr. Mattmanhasgonebuthascomebackthistimewithone. I originally installed the actives in my 22x12x8 living room (~2000 cu ft). In that environment, the bass was unlike anything I've ever heard. I waxed poetically about it for 86 posts and this makes it 87. Then I moved them to their permanent home in my 4400+ cu ft basement. No doubt the bass there was the most controlled and full I ever heard out of any speaker but that holiness I heard in my living room was gone. The OP said the speakers were for his office. I assumed his office was no larger than my living room. Hence, if he had the actives, he wouldn't need a sub.

BTW, even with twin 600s and an 800 in the basement, I still can't get the bass I had in the living room. That's the 12th time I've said that.
