well, just got my m3 v.2....will be hooking them up and see how sound in my computer room system with my rega cd player and outlaw mono blocks...this should be fun

hope you like them. .....

Gitty up! Let us know of your impressions.

...and pictures.

which reminds me, grills on or off??

Congratulations! Sounds like a good combination!

Hi starkiller,

Great--I'm sure you'll like them. As to the grilles, acoustically it doesn't matter. The effect of the grilles has been reduced to a point that you might detect a difference using a test signal like pink noise, but with music, it's extremely unlikely you'll hear any difference. The attenuation of high frequencies with the grilles on is a fraction of a decibel in the uppermost octaves, where there is little or no useful musical information.

Regards,

Alan

well wa-hoo!! mighty good sound from these guys...easily on par with the departing kef's. have spent most of the day spinning all kinds of different tunes in my planet. carpenters/metallica/supertramp/rippingtons/lanz and speer/vegas in space/sweet/joe bonamassa/holst-the planets/opening theme to 2001/tocatta and fugue in d minor-bach/goodbye yellow brick road/astral projection/tweakend/black sabbath/return to forever/the doors and many many more

i be having fun!

Glad you are liking them, quite the work out you are giving them.

Cograts, enjoy them.

still having fun and they are still sounding good i hope this doesnt spread to my h/t system.....:)

Oh....

You didn't mention that you had a h/t system too. And it's not an Axiom system? Oh dear.

See, we usually don't recommend that people allow *any* Axiom speakers into the house if they have an existing, non-Axiom h/t setup. It's just not fair to the old setup. The Axioms will keep to themselves for a few weeks, but over time they will start to infringe on the old system's territory. The first sign of problems is a general lack of enthusiasm for listening to the old system. And once that starts to happen, well, that's the beginning of the end.

Before you know it, the Axioms will start to multiply. First the mains, then the center, then the surrounds, then the amp - it just won't end until Axiom has total domination over your home. There have been a few reported cases of Axiom's allowing other, non-Axiom speakers to live in the house, but it's pretty rare. Maybe you'll be lucky.

But more than one h/t system has been driven out to the country and abandoned at the side of the road due to the introduction of Axioms to a home. Consider yourself warned.



Congrats on the M3's!

Funny Peter, for me it's the opposite... I've got the Axiom H/T, but keep talking myself out of the urge to get some nice M3's for my computer setup to replace the Advents! It never ends...

hmm, i don't know....my tannoys and kef's sound awfully good!

But, just to be safe and to prevent them from spreading the way Peter mentioned, always keep a condom over your Axioms.

won't that muffle the sound?????????

No, the condom is there to better control a sound reproduction. Otherwise, it can take you up to nine months to get a flat graph back.
