    Just Bought Axioms...

    I had one other idea. How big is your living room? If you're trying to reach high volumes in a large area, it's true those speakers will not able to cope with it. You might want to try a tower speaker like an M50ti instead. It's very similar to the M3 but able to play at higher volumes without...

    HK 525 Broke, Replacement HK 430 ?

    Thank you everyone for your input. On the 630, I was going by onecall's price now. I was showing their price difference between the 430 and the 630 so I could compare the models. I didn't ask for the 525 to blow up on me. So, I felt a replacement was in order. By going with the 430, I...

    A Different Perspective on Bose

    I think most people who buy Bose believe they're getting "the best speaker" for their dollar. They buy name brand because they believe they're assured at getting a quality speaker. Those people who don't know much about speakers are impressed by their size and likely don't have an ear for the...

    HK 525 Broke, Replacement HK 430 ?

    Well, they wouldn't let me have the 630. I have to pay half of the difference (of their cost). It will cost me $50 more to get the 630. Also, it's not a new unit. It's an open box. I took it since I need a new unit pretty badly right now.

    HK 525 Broke, Replacement HK 430 ?

    My new HK 525 sparked and smoked. It's totally toast! :frowning: Anyway, one call will replace it with a 430 if I wish. They don't have any other 525s in stock. I'm torn, the 430 is a lower rated unit (power wise). Should I go with it as a replacement? Should I get something else? Any ideas...

    Please help with surround speaker placement

    I have a similar question. I was wondering if it would be ok if I mounted my Axiom QS8 speakers forward (by a couple feet) from the seating area. Since these are supposed to disperse the sound, it shouldn't be too noticably different, right? Is it ok to move the speaker forward? Should...
