Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater HELP!!! How do the axiom sound compared to M&K?

I have been losing sleep over which speakers to get..

I recently purchased M&K 150. I have 30 days and am wondering if I made the right choice. They are pricey at 4,000.00. I recently order rocket 750s and a 200 to campare to the M&K.

I am wondering if I made the right decision. The rockets have been described as laid back and not really bright. I like the brightness of the M&K. It brings out a lot of detail that I haven't heard in a lot of speakers I have listened to in my search for speakers.

I have come across Axiom and have heard they have a bright sound that has punch. I am manly going to be using this for hometheater.

I have been losing sleep over which speakers to buy and I think I may order the axiom 80 fronts and center to see how ther sound comapred to the rockets and M&K.

Any advice or thoughts would be great

Well i for one like the Axiom sound but i don't have the 80's to help u out , the main thing is if u can try all them Brands then u should figure out which u like jus takes u a little time an maybe u will go with Rockets an save u some Money an then maybe u will go with the Axiom's an save u even more money but it all comes down to what your ears will tell you and only u will know. Someone with the 80's will bounce on here to give u a hand , also there might b people who might b in your area an u could go Demo them

Thanks for the reply...I may go with the 60s but we will see. I would love to hear from someone who has heard both.

$4000 seems like a lot of money to spend for one pair of speakers (at least on my teacher's salary ) but if you're comfortable with that and like the M&Ks then why worry about it?
OTOH, Axioms are almost universally regarded as great for HT, so if you can save some money...
Good luck.

i think 4000 dollars is the whole set set up w/sub.its a nice sounding system.i think the 80 system will hang right in there with it.never hearing axiom subs i cant comment on them.i think you will get a lot more for your money with the axioms,try them.i think you will be glad you did...ron

I have heard the M&K S150 speaker. IMO, it is a reference for mids and highs. Incredible detail.

Thanks for the replys guys!! Crutis how do they sound complaired to the axiom or other speakers you have heard? Would you keep them? Considering I am going about 85% hometheater?

thanks steve

I'd go M60s, QS8s, VP150 and SVS PC+ 20-39, if I had it to do over again (the only change being the sub ).
