    $6,500 Home Theater System - Great Looks & Performance

    I am a Bassaholic so yes I agree. I'd go with 2 of the SVS or Rythmik subs if space and price weren't issues. I am still impressed that my sister-in-law loves having big towers in her family room. She almost went with all in-walls / in-ceiling speakers.

    Axiom Audio LFR1100 Tower Loudspeaker Preview

    Yes and I plan on writing an article showing how even a TV speaker can produce good distortion results based on how its currently being measured using sweeps like you see at Soundstage, NRC and other places. Unfortunately there are no established standards for measuring loudspeakers and they...

    Axiom Audio LFR1100 Tower Loudspeaker Preview

    Agreed. Measurements are useful to ensure the product doesn't have any major flaws but they don't necessarily correlate to sound quality. They rarely reveal how a speaker misbehaves at high SPL levels. The distortion sweeps used by the NRC won't reveal improperly chosen Xover points nor do...

    Nothing worse than when your site gets hacked. Our site fell victim to something similar twice over the last 5 years or so. It's grueling when it happens to you and I feel their pain. Nobody for a second should doubt that Axiom wouldn't resolve fraudulent charges for their customers...

    $6,500 Home Theater System - Great Looks & Performance

    This system was designed to integrate into a family room. I actually installed this exact system for my sister-in-law so I turned it into a series of articles. When putting together a system for such an application, matching the look of components is very important to some people. I was...

    Sounds Excellent Dave. Who was the guy you had at your place switching out the amps, and setting up the A/B switch boxes? Was it Bandphan or someone like that? If so, I hope he can attend and assist as he did a great job! I will get a cable sponsor to furnish some cables and I will bring...

    Axiom Audio LFR1100 Tower Loudspeaker Preview

    This is something nobody knows since the Axiom speaker in question has not be professionally reviewed or measured. It's especially true in your case since you're someone that believes measuring 1/3rd octave is plenty of resolution. It's probably better to reserve further speculation till more...

    Axiom Audio LFR1100 Tower Loudspeaker Preview

    You make a valid point but let's also be clear that the 1266-SE/R is a special anniversary product and those drivers are the upgrade option not normally offered. The tweeter is a $200 piece from Scan Speak (9500) and is arguably considered one of the best dome tweeters on the market by...

    Axiom Audio LFR1100 Tower Loudspeaker Preview

    While I think it's great everyone is sharing their opinion on the new Axiom speaker, please let's refrain from bashing and trashing their company. I've had the unfortunate pleasure of being solicited by and hearing many White Van speakers over the years and I can comfortably tell you Axiom...

    When I attended there, I was looking for women since non existed in my engineering classes, hence why I often enrolled in Basketweaving 101 or other non-related courses to "round out" my education :)

    Audioholics new Reference Speakers

    You do realize I set this up as a joke right? In all honesty, I crossed them over at 90Hz to my dual Velodyne DD15+ subs and they don't sound half bad. I'm able to crank them pretty darn good as a result. This will hold me so I can still play my XBOX360 till new speakers arrive. In PLIIx...

    Audioholics new Reference Speakers

    Yea any spare speakers are in my remote storage facility and I am too lazy to get them. I just requested review samples of Paradigm Monitor 9s and Infinity Primus P362s. Perhaps I can do a mini shootout while I wait for my new speakers :D

    Guys; I just sold my RBH T30s and replaced them with these little gems. Think they will fill my 6,000ft^3 listening space and achieve reference levels? Who can guess what speakers these are?
