I recently purchased a set of Axiom "Master" speakers. My fronts are the M3ti's, the center is the VP 100, my surrounds are QS4's, and my Sub is the Axiom EP175. Yes, I'm very happy. Here's a link to a previous thread regarding the placement. There's a photo of the axiom speakers, that...

UPDATE...... I lowered the fronts to the top level of the TV. The first thing I noticed was how the speakers have "disappeared". Prior to moving them, I heard the location of each speaker. Doing this also allowed the rear port of the Axioms to have about 12" clearance between the speakers...

I too, find that the sub has less intensity in it's current position vs it's previous place in the rear corner. However, the clarity is much better. Having the sub in the front, creates a "sound stage". Having the sub in the rear gives very low rumbles and vibration. So, this is my...

The fronts are not ear level when sitting on the sofa. I was thinking that the fronts should be at the same level as the TV. This kinda creates a natural sound that surrounds the screen. As far as the sub is concerned....The Axiom is a front firing, so I felt that the sound was a bit muffled...

Hi, here's a picture of my family room in the basement. I recently purchased a set of Axiom "Master" speakers. My fronts are the M3ti's, the center is the VP 100, my surrounds are QS4's, and my Sub is the Axiom EP175. Yes, I'm very happy. Here are my questions: 1) Should I lower my...

Ok, here I am sitting in my new "family room". My "family room" consists of: a 65" Mitsubishi WS, a Pioneer VSX-912 110 watt per channel receiver, and a new set of Axiom speakers 5.1. Picture this...... We're all sitting in the "family room" watching a DVD, when my wife says: What is it...

I just picked up the Axiom master system. The system includes (2) M3's, 1 VP100 center, 2 Qs4 surrounds, and I went with the EP175 Sub (even though many suggested the HSU sub). I have them in a carpeted basement 14x16 room. After having these speakers for a mere 4 days, all I can say is WOW...

Today I received my new Axiom package. I purchased 2 M3ti's for fronts,along with the brackets to mount on the wall left and right behind my 65" TV 1 center VP100, 2 Qs4's, and the EP175 powered sub. The setup is in a medium sized basement room (16x13), with carpeting. The first thing I...

So since I already have the Front firing Axiom Sub....Is it best place the sub where the front woofer would be facing the seating area? (front stage next to TV and front speakers)....Or is it best to place the sub facing a wall, or perhaps the back of the sofa?

My new Axiom Master system should arrive today. In a fairly compact listening area, I'll have 2 M3ti fronts, a VP100 center, 2 qs4 surrounds, and the ep175 sub...which is front firing. After reading the many positive posts about HSU, I'm anticipating a possible exchange of the Axiom sub...

Thanks, I just ordered it.

Thank you for your warm welcome. I'll look into a test disc.

Ok, in the last week I found myself buying 10 different speaker systems. Everything from Axion to Klipsch to Ascends. This is becoming very confusing. I want to spend about $1200.00 for a 5.1 system.(including Sub) I have a Pioneer VSX-D912 Receiver, that has the ability to go up to 7.1. At...

I do apologize. This HT thing is fairly new to me, and I'm going through the learning process. Where can I get the test disc?

You do realize that I ask because the mid-priced Klipsch-lineup uses horn tweeters. I like what I'm hearing from Klipsch. I'm just not sure what sized speakers I need. The quintets are "cute", but my room is 16x15. Any suggestions?

I tried both units on the same TV, using the same connections. I simply unplugged one, then used the same plugs for the other connection. I found the color, and depth on the Mitsubishi much more pleasing than the Sony. I'm sure there's a setting somewhere that affects picture quality.

My Mitsubishi 6030 seems to have a nicer picture than my new Sony DR-GX7 DVD recorder. Of course I'm referring to the playback of original store-bought DVD's. The Sony seems to have more image noise. Could this be? The Mitsubishi was a 175.00 player. The Sony is a 540.00 DVD...

I've never heard the sound of speakers with horns instead of tweeters. I see that the Klipsch speakers in have them. Are there any advantages/disadvantages to having horn tweeters?

Curtis: Since you heard the ventriloquist playing loud, how would rate their sound quality? If you were willing spend 1K on a full 5.1 speaker system, would you consider them?

I have the ATI all in Wonder card with a Sony 500 DCD burner. I found the "authoring" portion very time consuming, and quality was not the same as a direct dub from camera to the Sony DVD recorder. Of course, there's a very good chance that I'm not doing all this correctly. The DVD recoder...

Sorry for the "amateurish" question. I recently purchased a Sony DVD recorder. This recorder does NOT have a hard drive. Here's my question: If I were to archive a bunch of clips onto a DVD-R/W...THEN decide I want to put those clips onto a DVD-R (for permanent storage), how do I...

Sooooo..... Since I have the Sony DVD recorder without a HDD, I should assume that anything faster than 1x is a waste of money?

Trying not to get too confused with CD-R capabilities. Where faster cd-r record faster. When using DVD-R's in DVD recorders ( such as the Sony GX7), does DVD media speed matter? I would think not, because everything records in real time. Am I correct? There's plenty of 1x media at very...

Even though I just bought the Sony, there's a very good chance I'll upgrade to a unit with a HDD. I say this because....this evening, I was dubbing some old Hi8 tapes to DVD-R. Prior to recording, I reviewed the tapes. At that point, it would have been very convenient to have recorded these...

Thanks, I was aware of that. However, the Sony seems to have that something "extra" when it came to dubbing old tapes. The few reviews that I read all mentioned how the Sony "cleaned up" their old tapes. This was of interest to me as a feature. Maybe the Philips has everything the Sony has...

I ended up going with the Sony GX7 WITHOUT the HDD. I also "upgraded" my current Hughes Direct TV receiver to the "TIVO" unit. Why? (may you ask) did I go this route? Here's why: First off, I already had the Full TIVO subscription as part of my premium package, so simply adding a new...

Hmmm....Philips DVDR 75 ? I didn't even consider that DVR. What's life like without a HDD? Is it something you're wishing you had?

I have my eye on a few DVD recorders. From what I'm seeing, I've pretty much narrowed it down to the Pioneer Elite 57H, the Panasonic E100, or the Sony GX7. Can anyone offer any suggestions or opinions? Has the DVD finally replaced the VHS recorder? Can I finally record re-runs off...

Can someone direct me to the Hsu STF-2's on the web? Thanks
