Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Hearing Things Intro

Hello all, thought I'd say hi - have been aware of Axiom for many years and have received the fine newsletter for most of them. Work steady midnight so have been "lurking" around the boards for the last 6 months or so and you have been quite entertaining --- as well as informative . Got that bad upgradeitis bug that's going around so I think I'm gonna start piecing together a new speaker system sometime this year.

So if you haven't figured it out yet - I'm Luc from London

Welcome, Luc. It's always nice when a spy reveals himself. What is your current hardware?

Welcome aboard Luc! So which speakers are you presently looking at?

Boy that was quick, went out for a smoke and 2 welcomes, thanks

My current hardware a nice Pioneer vsx 1015 7.1 driving my old 5.1 Mission center and 700 speakers that I relegated as rears and rear surrounds, picked up a set of small Fluance floorstanders for my mains in 2005 when I got the Pio, I know, I should have bought the Axiom mains then, but cost was a factor.

The Mission sub has also been relegated as a rear sub since I picked up an Energy S10.3 on Canuck Audio Mart great sub for hitting those sub 25hz in movies. The Pioneer will be replaced as well for likely the Denon 2808 or 3808 because of the 4 HDMI 1.3. The Samsung 6189 led rear projection has replaced my epson projector (got tired of changing bulbs every 2 years)and of course my trusty PS3 that I stood in line for 25hrs to get on day 1 --- there weren't too many 50 year olds in that lineup lol

I think my 1st purchase will be the VP150 the 100 would likely be good enough but for aesthetic purposes the vp150 just looks awesome. Will likely go for the M22s for mains sometime later as I am quite happy with the Missions as rears and rear surrounds. Since it will be likely that this satisfaction will wane in the future it will be quite easy to move the M22s to the rear

Another welcome!

Do you use your PS3 mostly for games or movies?

Hi Luc and welcome. Many of us lurked for years before posting. Glad to have you join the forum.

Welcome aboard!

Hi Luc. I'm just up the raod from you in Kitchener. I should be getting my M80s soon (I hope...) now.

I'm sure you'll love the upgrades

Thanks again,

medic8r - The ps3 is used equally for both, probably a little more for movies - this little box just amazes me - the upconversion video quality improvements for DVD playing, I built a pretty high end HTPC for this purpose but the ps3 PQ and SQ just blows it away - and then there's blu-ray that is just awesome can't wait to get a new receiver to hear the improvements with lossless audio

dllewel - Raven manor looks pretty awesome, I can only wish to be able to afford that kind of gear

HomeDad - Home dad heh all right!! - I've been a single Dad for over 20 yrs

Yea Fred you're just a hop skip and a jump away...

Welcome Luc
