Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Calling Ajax and lomb7-Rocket 1k

Sorry, I misspoke. I knew that they are woofers, not subwoofers. I am planning to get additional sub anyway.

Ravi-
From the sound of it the $$ is not the major issue for you here. If you are going to keep the set up for years to come and you enjoy the sound it produces then you will not have the "Sharper Image" feel.

Saying that, both Ajax and I would not push you in any direction bacause we hear differently then you and we could be termed as a Shill.

You have heard both set ups. What do your ears tell you? I have not heard the M80 but from what I have read they are almost the same as the M60 just that they can play louder. Also, I have not heard the 1K as I have the 850's.

So, you have heard the M60 and the 1K. What would you be happiest with? That is the answer to your question. If you are only going off system cost then you have a chance of wondering "what if" and you may be disappointed. Troll the B stock while you are thinking about what you want. Also, call in, you may be able to get a unit before it comes up on the site.

As Ajax said, you can't go wrong with either of these systems but you have to make a decision that makes you happy and sounds great.

Ravi, you have PM.

I placed an order for Rocket RS1000s, RS200, Rs300s for surround. There is a three week wait and so there is still time to listen to the M80s. I'll keep you posted.

I already have an Axiom system and want to try a different one for the basement. I love my current Axiom setup and will not change it.

Well maybe I should go over to AV123 and explain the M80 experience???? I bet those folks would appreciate that.... Seems like pooping in your own bed to me. Sorry, I just think a little loyalty is in order.
I’m sure the Rockets are great but is this the right message board to discuss it?

End Rant

tleigh, I agree with you on this matter that is why I have tried to stay neutral on this hole thing. Ravi, you may want to take this to the Rocket forum, but, as tleigh has pointed out, if you should change your mind and go with the M80's, please let us all know why.

I hope that this has not pissed anyone off.

I don't see any problem discussing this on the Axiom board personally. You've been here for a while (longer than me I think) so you know there are a lot of "so, like, should I get Axioms or brand X ?" posts here. We have to discuss pros & cons and decisions to purchase something other than Axiom or IMO the board loses some of its value.

Having said that, doing an M80 spiel over on the AV123 board is always a Good Thing

For some more quality Rocket stuff http://forum.av123.com/showthread.php?s=b0a33e06bb2967c68e43844c9e26bdba&threadid=7428

I found this link very usefull in case I wanted to become a Rocket owner and I even book marked it for the future.

bridgman I think that there is a fine line here. I try to be fair and honest with any issue I get involved in. With audio it is hard because what I hear may not be what others may hear. So, I try to keep my mind open and pass on info that I have learned about over the short time I have been in this hobby. I would just hate to tell someone that Brand A is the very best only to have them hate it because they do not have a Brand B to compare Brand A to. So, I offer up thoughts and suggestions.

It is never my intent to crap in my own bed, messy thing.

Ok guy's I might be a little biased and sensitive here. I'm not saying I'm right. I do respect everyone's right to post informative information. So, I may have overstepped the fine line here. I should've steered clear from this one as it may have value to someone.
