I was in Toronto a couple of months ago looking at Axiom and Energy speakers. The story I was given by one store was they charge the local taxes (GST etc) and you can get it back at the border. They also said that there is no import tax into the US unless the amount exceeds $2800 CN. Did not...
I believe the tests conducted provided power readings using a static load. A/V receivers such as the TX-SR800 are designed for a dynamic load (most A/V receivers are designed this way). Basically this means that all of the seven channels are not requiring the same level of power at the same...
I also have an Axiom system and decided to by-pass spades and plugs by connecting the wire directly to the A/V Amp and speakers. Thus eliminating a possible point of failure.
Unbelievable !! Thank you for sharing your diabolical success story. It is encouraging to those of us that have tried the same ploy, but failed. You have fill us with inspiration and we will not give up.
I have had the Onkyo TX-SR800 since January and connected it to an older set Kenwood speakers. The speakers sound the same as they did with my Kenwood Amplifier. I have ordered the Axiom M80ti, VP-150, QS8, and M3ti system and should get it this week. The Onkyo will also drive a SVS PB1-ISD...
I have been to a few of the CSW stores and found out that they have a discount program. You may want to ask your employer if they are part of it. CSW give a 20% discount to these groups. If your really interested in CSW, it doesn't hurt to ask.
Thanks Allen, You have bolstered my comfort zone. I will audition the Dahlquist QXs with more conviction now that I know the 4-ohm setting does not effect any sound quality of the receiver.
Hi Marc, As noted, I would be visiting the Mississauga / Toronto area. During my visit, I also wanted to audition Axiom speakers. Replay Electronics (you mentioned) is an Axiom dealer as well as Dahlquist. Should be a fun trip. Actually, my daughter married a Canadian so I'm not just...
AllenLC I see in your setup that you are using the Onkyo SR800. Did you set it to 4 ohms for the QX10s ?? I have the SR800 and have been looking for a 7.1 system with 8 ohms. The only reason being I have no direct knowledge of how the receiver would handle the 4 ohm load. What is your experience.
Hi Marc, Can you give me a list of Dahlquist dealers in the Mississauga / Toronto area ?? I will be visiting there next month and wanted to audition the QX Series.
