New toys at the Hawaiian Hideaway - 08/07/06 08:50 PM
Well, Heres whats going on... My parents built a house and we have a dedicated home theater room in it. So its my job to wire it and put it all together because im the only one who knows anything about that sort of thing..
Anyhow, we got our speakers on friday and WOW.. Just a quick rundown... The system will consist of the Epic 80 7.1 system with the Ep600, which by the way.. is HUGE, talk about impressive! As most of you old timers know, I have a set of M80's in my 2 channel system, but now they reside in our theater because I wanted to get something a bit different which ended up being M80v2's in HG cherry which is GEORGEOUS! if i did not know that it was fake veneer you cannot tell without looking close up with a flashlight. Its THATnice. Not to mention all the other upgrades from my older 80's, nicer posts, muuch nicer spikes, nicer packaging, nicer manual, and seemingly better sound! My old M80's were purchased in December 2002 so im not sure what changes exactly were made to the internals since then, however i did notice the xover layout a bit different and the changes in the polyfill, the way its's stuffed in. Did i mention the nicer posts?
And that geougeous finish... The grills are different, a bit stronger, and new way of attaching them, I never had a problem with them falling off before but this is admittadly better. Overall, im extremely happy with my refreshed axioms and its never ceases to please me with their customer service and product.
the only thing about the high gloss, which i got at the special regular price is that it shows fingerprints, Alot... Which is a problem with such nice speakers because you cant keep your hands off them
And did i mention that they even are labeled as custom made for me. This might not seem like a big deal but its definetly a nice touch, speakers custom built just for me.now who else can say that, those people with their paradigms and energy's... Agh they just throw em off the shelf.
But i know what you guys are really intersted in is the theater, Well. no pics of that just yet but lets just say its going to kick some serious ass!
The axiom setup powered by a B&K AVR507 with a denon dvd 2910 and hopefully a 110" screen lit up with a Infocus 7205.
Well thats got some work to do yet, and some stuff to be ordered so until thats done, i only have some pics of my 2 channel/ht setup. here:

did i say i am completely impressed with the New M80's. Man that finish makes the boston cherry look ugly.
