Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners What reciever to get?

Another question, with most electronic equipment you cannot use the American version in Australia as the power Supply is different(240V/50Hz) So does this in anyway affect the speakers? Or should this be fine becuase the receiver handles the power?

Chunk, as you say, the receiver has to be properly designed to handle the different power supply, but once it does this it gives the speakers exactly what they need.

Are the Axiom Subs "active" is that the right term. i mean do they have a separate power supply. If they are, do aiom make an australia power compatible version. and do the other companies such as HSU and SVS also make subs compatible with the australian power supply. The power supply issue (and lack of money)are the only things really stopping me from buying all this stuff.

This might be a question for Axiom and other potential subwoofer companies. I couldn't find any thing that answers you question. Anybody???

i would email the company on that. i am the last guy to be giving electronic advice??

I know at the start of this "thread/post"??? I said i was looking at getting a reciver for about $400, but after thinking about it. I've decided to ditch the sub and get a better receiver as from what I've been reading the M80's have adequate bass. So what would anyone recommend in about the US$1000 dollar range, that would be good for the M80's. I will be adding a sub later, but right now I just want some thing to crank my J5 on.

I have an Integra DTR-7.4 and it drives 4 ohm loads without a problem. You can negotiate deals with the vendors, I paid $899 for mine.

I was actually leaning more towards an Onkyo or a Denon.

tleigh-

i had heard that onkyo and integra were sister companies?? have you ever heard anything about that?? i had never put much thought to it until i went to the integra website. if you look at integras and onkyos website side by side, they are fairly identical. even how they list their stats and specs of each receiver looks identical, exact words and all.. just curious if you have ever looked at that..?.

even the face of the receiver and design are similar. they just seem too identical to not be related in some way!!

Basically Integra is to Onkyo as Lexus is to Toyota
