Hi Mark, How big is your room? Mine's 12'x21'. Here's what I had planned before rethinking due to smallish size of my room: M80 fronts QS8 surrounds M3ti backs VP 150 center Just got SVS PB2-ISD sub (very cool!) I was thinking of dropping down to the M60 so as not to put them in...

I'm thinking of using Axiom's QS8 ("quad polar") as surrounds in a 7.1 set-up. 60% movies and 40% music. How do people feel about this speaker: a) for movie surround, and b) for cd/sacd music listening?? Planning to use monopoles for the rears. Thanks!!!

Thanks Ryan - Great Input!! May have to consider the projector route...

Just completed building my HT. Now I need to make a reasonably priced investment in HDTV. My viewing room is12'x21'. Have two risers in the back 3 1/2' wide, 8" and 16" up from floor. So viewing areas are approx. 12.5', 15.5', and 18.5' from the screen area. Planning on a 61" 16x9 wide...

making speaker selections for a 7.1 set up. Have Yam RX-V2400, bought the svs pb2-isd sub and love it. My room is 12'x21' (Ok so I got a BIG sub for the size..) I'm pretty set on Axioms so I'm looking at the m60 towers for fronts, and m2ti for rears. For 7.1 I was going to go with the...

Yamaha indicates 4 ohm is fine with all Yamaha receivers. Response below: Jeff, In regards to your question on running other that 8ohms speakers on your Yamaha receiver. All Yamaha receivers support 4ohms and 6ohms speakers. The recommended setting on the Yamaha receiver should be at...

Any 2 channel amp recos that won't kill my now defunct budget? What kind of specs should I look for at a minimum (150w,

Why is this so? Adds headroom and reduces strain on the receiver to better drive the remaining speakers? Also, I assume you would use the separate amp to drive the main F & L from the pre out on the receiver. Will this pose any problems for YPAO, sound fields, or volume control across the...

I just bought a Yamaha RX-V2400, and am planning on purchasing the following for a 7.1 setup (I've just ordered the sub today): Axiom: 2 M80ti Towers (4 ohm) 2 QS8 Surrounds (6 ohm) 2 M3ti Backs (8 ohm) 1 VP150 center (8 ohm) SVS: PSB2 ISD My quandry is that the M80ti towers are...

Wayne and others, I have the Yamaha RX-V2400. It doesn't say anything about required speaker loads. It does have a setting for 6/8 ohm, but I read an adioholics review of the 2400 that recomended keeping it set at 8 ohm even when running 4ohm speakers (article claims setting to 6 on the...

Addendum - On the sub - I'm about ready to pull the trigger on a separate sub - the SVS PSB2 ISD at $899. The reviews and specs look awesome. Seems a worthwhile upgrade to the Axiom sub. So, I'm looking at the following 7.1 set up: Axiom: 2 M80ti Towers 2 QS8 Surrounds 2 M3ti Backs 1...

Hi Bill, Had been considering Axiom along with Aperion. Deeper research seems to point towards Axiom - especially the M80 towers! Should I consider Axiom's top sub (350?) to match the entire set-up? I was leaning towards SVS or HSU previously when considering Aperion.

Forgot the Budget! $2,500 +/- $500....
