Re: I moved house and now my speakers sound bad, help? Hafwen 06/26/24 09:52 PM
Like you, I love my speakers (M60 Ti towers), but after the move, they lost their sharpness and depth. Despite keeping everything else the same, the acoustics in the new room just weren't cutting it.

I recently came across an article with some great tips that really helped me. It suggested considering the room's acoustics and trying acoustic isolation techniques to improve sound quality. For instance, using specialized speaker feet or even experimenting with decoupling methods like sand-filled platforms might help restore that crisp sound you miss. Check out more tips here: https://threemovers.com/tips-to-help-you-move/ . Exploring these options could be a game-changer for getting your Axiom speakers sounding amazing again in your new space.

Re: M3 amplified bookshelf speakers Question Hambrabi 06/25/24 11:35 PM
Line level by definition does not have volume control, so you'll always be adjusting both the M3 and subwoofer output levels at the source and the sub any time you want to change the volume.

I'd personally just use the subwoofer output of the powered M3 speakers' front channels. The convenience is clear and noticeable; any improvement in audio clarity wouldn't be.

If you have existing issues with a ground loop hum, that would be a different matter altogether.

That’s really interesting… initially that struck me as brilliant… but then I started wondering if it would that been more obvious if I designed crossovers … the active crossover thing has been going on for a while now especially in pro audio area. Why not get the target parameters digitally and build a non active solution from that.

Re: Dead Site Hambrabi 06/23/24 04:01 PM
From Soundstage Network's interview with Ian Coulquhoun, he hinted about future Axiom loudspeakers that would reach the market by the end of 2025.

It seems like Axiom will incorporate the same module technology that Bryston uses to switch between single amp, bi-amp, tri-amp, and active for their T10 series (he calls it a door). The LFR 1100 Active will stay the same; he's hinted many times that it's a loudspeaker stereo pair that doesn't lose double blind listening tests, and has the listening window and sound power composite curves controlled to within +/- 1.0 dB. Those SOTA stats would get you a direct radiating loudspeaker Olive score better than 7.5 before adding a sub.

He also talked about driver component variability as a consequence of manufacturing variance, something Floyd Toole also discussed in his talk at CIRMMT. Reading between the lines, Axiom and Bryston don't have that problem because they've invested in the quality control equipment, and other loudspeaker companies haven't. And that's part of what you're paying for with Axiom's elevated prices. smile

https://youtu.be/zrpUDuUtxPM?t=3948 (time cued)

Finally, Ian mentioned that their design process uses DSP to design their target curves, and then clone that using analog crossovers. I suspect that the v.3 and v.4 iterations were a product of that process.

M3 amplified bookshelf speakers Question SpaDogs 06/23/24 02:12 PM
I have two pairs of M3 amplified bookshelf speakers. I want to know if the “sub” output is a summed line out with the crossover in the woofer?

Currently the speakers are getting their signals from my audio interface. What I plan to do is sum the line level signals from all four channels and send it to the woofers from the audio interface directly.

Just want to know of there are in special considerations. As it stands, the line level sent to each channel is -30 db and I would do the same for the summed signals for the woofers.

New and exciting speakers are interesting but changing the design for change sake is more marketing excitement then step forward audio wise.

The revolution in my mind is combining digital processing, room and psychoacoustics, with speaker placement. If that requires changes to the speaker design to get the air to move in the way needed then I’m all for it

Re: Dead Site 2x6spds 06/22/24 08:57 AM
Oh look! All my friends are here! Good to see you all.

Yes, audio is a great hobby. I think discussion of general audio matters could liven up our site. I posted recently about a wrong road (uneconomical) taken in pursuit of audio nirvana. It's not an inexpensive hobby. That's what I loved about Axiom. My first pair of M3Tis cost about $275 and knocked my socks off. Now, they are almost $600. I know the value of the dollar has sure fallen hard in the last 3 years, but I sure wish Axiom could help with the price of entry level speakers with great sound quality. Maybe, they could also come out with a higher end line with some more advanced technology ... like separate chambers for tweeter, mids and bass woofers, some 8" drivers, or even, dare I say it, 12" drivers. Maybe even an Open Baffle speaker ... that should save on the cabinet costs and challenge Ian and Andrew with a new cross-over design.

Of course, we have the LFR series which are very interesting! Magnepan is coming out with a new speaker with external DSP and which will require separate amplification for highs, mids and lows. Sound familiar? Of course, their customers will have to find their own amps, unlike Axiom.

This site could have helped Axiom market their wonderful speakers. Dead don't help.

I know Axiom is busy with Bryston, Magnum Dynalab and who knows what other acquisitions are in the works. I hope Ian has the time and energy to come up with some new Axiom speakers which excite the audio community.

Re: Great Budget Phono Cartridge and Vinyl Section 2x6spds 06/21/24 07:30 AM
What happened? I told my audio dealer buddy how good the Denon DP45f and Goldring E3 sounded. Was that a polite sneer? Yes, yes it was. "You should get the Hana ML and a real table." That's a better sounding cart. He gave me a good deal, $1000. I'll take it I said. He mounted it on the Denon.

So, after listening to the Hana ML on the gorgeous Denon DP45f for a while, I realized there was a problem. The height if the Hana ML is taller than the Goldring E3. There is no height adjustment on the Denon Tracer tonearm and if the record was not perfectly flat some part of the cart would bump the record.

So, I was faced with a problem. If I sold the Hana ML, I'd take a bath. So, I retired the Denon and picked up a well reviewed Mofi Ultradeck that would fit the Hana. What a piece of junk. They could have spent more than 25 cents on the lift mechanism and the arm lock is a joke. Good news, the Hana ML fit. Bad news, sounded like trash. Now, I'm in for some real money and moving backwards fast.

So, I returned the Ultradeck and swapped it for a new Technics 1210G. I may have gotten a good deal on the Hana, but now I'm approaching mid 4 figures for the Hana on the Technics.

The sound quality is great! I'm happy with the sound but my purse is lighter for sure.

I loved the sound of the old Denon table with the $169 Goldring E3 cart. This pricey rig definitely sounds glorious. But, if I could go back in time, I'd be spinning the Denon with the Goldring, enjoying great sound quality and my purse would be full instead of empty.

I'll post some pix when I figure out IMGUR again.

Chasing the audio rabbit ... improved sound quality.

Tristan's content isn't my cup of tea, but his video editing skills are impeccable. It might take me a few years to reach that level.

Social media platforms are very democratic; anyone with a smartphone and an internet connection can upload content that can reach billions.

On the other hand, they're also winner-takes-all contests, where there's a handful of winners in a vast sea of anonymous nobodies drowning in a sea of content noise. I called it an r-select environment in my sociology book, but it's better known generically as a Pareto distribution.

My brother and niece both have YouTube channels. My brother is a prolific traveller and does travel videos that reach a small following using nothing more than direct uploading from an iPhone. My workaholic niece (Morgan Ekroth) has turned hers into a business, I guess you can do that with 6 million Tik Tok and a million YT followers. smile

My son and his buddies decided to start a Youtube channel. It has been a few years, but they started to have fun more recently. It is based on Minecraft and animation. Check it out - https://www.youtube.com/@TristanBakon/videos

They have some talent, but Minecraft is not my thing.

Forums have their place. Content creators have the advantage of being heard among the sea of noise, but it takes hours to script, shoot A/B roll, splice, edit, and post stuff. Even my occasional articles here take 6-12 hours to compose. Forums are a great place for people like you and I to say something short and stupid for posterity. smile

Speaking of content creation, I’m playing around with launching a YouTube channel. It’s a vast learning curve and a giant time suck, so I have to be decide whether it’s worth it.

There’s a giant content void on social status and consumerism, and my rival David Marx (author of “Status and Culture: How Our Desire for Social Rank Creates Taste, Identity, Art, Fashion, and Constant Change”, whom I beat to market by 4 months, booyah! And his sales numbers suck like mine, which means he’s made even less money than me because he sold his soul to a publisher.) hasn’t made his move yet.
