Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo girlfriend doesn't like stands for m22s

I attest to Kiss sounding bad but AC/DC sounding good.

Some recordings will pleasantly surprise you.

By the way, I used to have M22's and I listen to a lot of hard music and it sounded great. I don't buy the 'they are not rock speakers' business. Get a decent sub with them and they will be terrific.

I agree. M22s really sound their best with a great sub to back them up. Turn it up!

Ok, well that's awsome to know that AC/DC sounds good, they're one of my favs.

Can you clear something up for me though? Does all of Kiss cd's sound bad, or just their early stuff?

Most of my Kiss collection is all fairly current stuff. I do have a few of their cd's that came out in the 80's, and as far as their older stuff goes, I have Unmasked, Destroyer, and Creatures Of The Night.

A lot of my Kiss cd's got stolen not that long ago and I had to replace them. All but a selective few have been digitally remastered.

All of the early CD's now have been re-mastered. KISS, DRESSED TO KILL and HOTTER THAN HELL. ALIVE, the preminent Live album of all time is also re-mastered. I unforutnately have all of these without that process. I don't think they sound that bad. I do have DESTROYER and ROCK "N" ROLL OVER remastered and they are just fine. If I were you, I would go with the re-mastered versions. Amazon always have good two for deals with alot of stuff and also some reviews talk of the remastering of the discs. Its nice to have another KISS fan on here. Been a fan since 1974. I just saw their tour with Poison. They still kick it out. I do miss ACE and PETER though. I hope this helps.........

Hey thanks alot Todd, yeah that helps out a lot. lol

I got my new Axioms on Friday, but I've just been so darn busy I haven't had time to even unbox them, not alone get any work done down in my ht room. I have opened them though, I couldn't wait to at least check them out and everything. lol

As I've mentioned before, I plan on taking this weekend off so I can hopefully at least get some work done down there. Once I get the rest of the equipment I need, unfortunately my speakers weren't the only things I had to sell off, but once I replace everything else I'm needing, you can bet I'll fire up a few discs.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it bud.

i agree with todd.. if you have some of the 'first issue' cd's of KISS, then you will be less than impressed.. but if you search for the 'remastered' versions, and pay the few xtra bucks, they sound much better.

i got to see KISS a few years back on the 'farewell tour'(yea right?), with all of the original members.. then i took my wife last year to see them with aerosmith. KISS always puts on the best show you will ever see..

but, i do agree, its just not the same without seeing ace up there doing his 'whiskey stagger'!!

You know what I'd like to know, is where in the hell did they dig up this guy they've got playing lead now?

I know of Eric Singer, I mean shoot, he's played for for a lot of people prior to joining Kiss when he did, but this guy they've got filling Aces shoes, come on. He doesn't even look right. lol

There's only been one replacement, if you want to call him that, that I liked just as well, and that was Eric Carr. Man that guy could play.

I got to hang out with him once when they made their way through town during their Hot In The Shade tour. I could say a lot about that guy, but one thing that always stands out is, he was by far one of the nicest guys I've never had the pleasure of knowing. It truely was an awsome experience getting to jam with him, one experience I'll never forget.

Damn cancer, it's robbed us of too many good people through out time.

I'm very upset to report there's another one to add to the list.

I have the same color of habits problem... how the hell I ever listened to music without the resounding, earth shaking, heart pleasing, rumble... of a SVS subwoofer, I'll never know...
