Axiom m80ti vs RF62

[amolwankhede]

Hello,

I have been reading a lot here and starting to build my HT. I have decided to start with 2.1 and then go from there. It will be mostly for music as I am not big in movies. To start with I am looking to spend $1500 on front speakers and Sub. little flexible.

From all the discussions and threads here I found that Klipsch Reference series is pretty good and Axiom M80ti is lot of speaker for money.

I have heard RF62 in best buy and I liked them better than Polk. Did not get a chance to see Axiom.

Please help. Once I have speakers, will go for Sub.

Room size is 20 x 15 aprox.

Thanks in Advance.

What sort of music do you listen to primarily? (be honest)
How loudly do you listen on avg or occasionally?
You seem to have plenty of room, where can the loudspeakers (including subwoofers) be positioned within the room(without a divorce) and relative to where you sit?

cheers,

AJ

I like to listen all sort of music, Wife is more into soft and vocals and instrumentals. I am more of country and some Pop. Not very big fan of hard rock.

We have a couch and few side and a coffee tables, its going to be in living room. It has a big glass window but adjustments are flexible.

thanks

Being a shill for the website , I would recommend the Infinity Primus 362's, on sale for $400/pr shipped. It would be better if you could listen to them yourself, but in lieu of that, they are superbly engineered for the money and will do very well on what music you seem to like. Place them as far away from the side walls and front wall (behind the speaker) as reasonably possible.
A pair of Earthquake S-12's, around $840/both for primarily music listening, though they will provide plenty of output for HT effects if you expanded later, even in your decent sized room and keep your budget well under $1500.
If you could add a 3rd, inexpensive (<$200), compact (maybe 8") sub under an end table by the sofa, better yet. The more LF sources, the smoother the perceived bass..and less excursion/potential distortion for each individual source. Being in very close proximity, the small sub need not have to be played very loudly, just enough to add some smoothing of the total LF response.

cheers,

AJ

You're getting paid to be here?

I'd go for the Axioms myself, but there are some other options like Aperion, Monitor Audio, and many others.

I've heard both but not side x side and the M80's are a far better speaker.
