Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners I'm really sick of upgradeitis....... but

Well I guess actually it's a symptom.

A strict spouse is a good treatment though. If I were single...[censored]...I'd be watching my big screen tv, with my new EP600 in a shack down by the river.

I'd have called it remission. A cure implies permenance. Once you have it you will always have it.

After reading some of Alans articles in the Axiom news letters and talking to John at Axiom, it has been brought to my attention that you get better sound with more WPC. It was described as more "headroom".

You other guys, I think I need to go out and get married otherwise I'll be living off of Ramen noodles, water, and REALLY GOOD AUDIO.

Any of you guys running an onkyo txsr701? And if so does it have 6 channel inputs for a sacd player?
I found one for 499.00 at a local store without a manual. Seems to be a good price, but if it doesnt support sacd I dont want it.

bray- i have the TX-SR701, and it has sacd analog inputs.. it is also pre/pro capabilities for adding more watts at a later date. in fact, the ONLY thing that the 701 doesnt have, is the Pro Logic IIx. but honestly, i dont think i miss it at all.

i never piped in this conversation cause everyone seems to be in a denon 'lovefest' these days, but i really like my unit. i would recommend it to anyone. the manual is very informative and easy to undersyand. the remote is awesome, and can learn all the others. it has plenty of power(100 watts), and has more inputs/outputs than i could possibly ever use. adjustable crossover, up conversion to s-video(but not component), automatic signal detection, dual zone capabilities, etc, etc.. i think, for the price, it can easily compete with every receiver you listed.

my only complaint, is that the receiver can run hot.. so, just make sure it has good ventalition, and you should be good to go.

BTW- i got mine online at macmall.com, it was a refurb for $429+shipping, and i have had not a problem one with it.. great unit, and very well priced.

Both don't sound as good as Neo 6 : Cinema?

the 701 has Pro Logic II, but not the new and improved Pro Logic IIx.

the 'x' just refers to the newest version. it is basically a type of decoding format that tkaes a 2 channel stereo signal, and makes a simulated surround out of it. you will basically only use it when watching TV or input from the VCR. you will never use it for music.

the 'x' version, is just supposed to be able to decode the signal better.. to be honest, i think the regular Logic II works just fine.. just my opinion.

I thought the X was Xtended - and adds a "discrete" - that is, a processed - rear centre over DPLII.

Don't quote me on that, though... haven't paid much attention to DPL since 1993.

Thanks John.

Please explain neo6. I see it on my H/K and several other recievers but have never used it.
