Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions blown tweeter or just need breaking in?

If you have to WOW them, you might want to start out with Monsters Inc. or Ice Age. That ought to do it. Monsters Inc. is the first movie my wife said, "this sounds pretty good". (which translates to..."these Axioms kick *** and I'm really glad you bought them!!)

jbz,
the start of that Ice Age movie is awesome. The sound of the glacier cracking just sweeps across every speaker i own.
Just superb.
And the little prehistoric squirrel is hilarious.

Sushi,

Congrats on the new projector! With video like that, a 5.1 system in a must. I'm sure you and your family will be very pleased with the projector. A good way to convince them that you need a 5.1 system would be to let them hear a proper setup.

Cheers,
Mike

P.S: I can't wait to see it (hint,hint)!

mwc and sushi,

Its too bad you lads are over in Dallas. I will be in Austin this November.
At great expense i could almost bring down some components and we'd have a real hoe-down.
I just picked up some Tannoy Revolution R1s that i would love to pair against the M22s or M2s. I tried with my M60s but it just wasn't apples and apples.

Everything mechanical (or in motion) must change. Loudspeaker drivers can not change the laws of physics. The suspension/spider system of a driver will change only after one hour of use from a freshly manufactured driver. This can be measured and was proven by JBL over 30 years ago.
The fact that Paradigm designs speakers for different classes of electronics and music taste comes to me strait from Paradigm themselves.

Plus it looks awesome on our Toshiba's...right?

Chesseroo,

Now that would be a hoot! Any time you feel froggy - just leap on over. With Sushi there, we would have a hoe-down with classical music. There wouldn't be much toe tappin' and boot scootin' but we could do a lot of "air baton" (LOL). Hey Sushi, they have hoe-downs in Japan don't they.

Austin is about a 3 1/2 hour drive from us. Will you be there on business?

P.S. Perhaps this could be the start of an anual "Axiom Hoe-Down".

Cheers,
Mike

TheTruth,
This discussion on break in has already been beaten to death.
PLease read this link:
old post on myth

As much as i would love to hoe-down in Dallas, i think the first annual Axiom owner party should be at the lake by which Ian and Amie reside. Excellent camping ground material. Plenty of fishing.
Don't Saturn car owners have some annaul picnic thing?

I will be in Ausitn most likely for about 5 days on business (science conference).

Thanks Jim; both Monsters Inc. and Ice Age have been noted as first movies for the show-off time.

Just FYI, chess, by November I will surely have a well-matured, complete installation. ;-) Mike, I doubt they really do hoedowns in Japan. At the very least, I am sure they won't with classical music. LOL

Now, I have to fly back to Dallas tomorrow (Saturday); hope my flight won't be shot down by one of North's missiles...

Cheers!
