    Speaker break-in??

    You're pretty much dead on for the most part. Woofers do tend to loosen up a bit after a few hours of play but don't forget that anything that can "break in" must also "break out". So it is a bit of a misnomer. Tweeters do NOT break in despite what many audiophiles claim. I had many...

    Hot Separates System Recommendation Tip

    Nobody is denying cables can sound different. However, only poorly designed cables are sonically distinguisable. My point was you should address more obvious issues with your system/room and not try to resolve issues with cable magic. Its likely that the amp you purchased handles low...

    Frequency Response of Axiom Speakers

    I thought I would chime in here to clarify some of the misinformation in this thread. The truth of the matter is the Axiom measurements were conducted anechoically thus the very low frequencies aren't accurately represented since the chamber isn't big enough. Please note our comments on...
