Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners HELP!! I need some help and Advice

I would check all the connections with the drivers. Make sure they are internally connected, there may be some drivers that are not receiving power.

If he has the mains set to large they will get all of the bass Regardless of what he has the sub set to (LFE or LFE+main)

Yes, the M60's would, not the sub.

A simple thing, but be certain the speakers are wired in phase. Try the THX setup tones for phase on any THX DVD (such as the Pixar DVDs).

okie dokie- thought you were talking about the mains not making bass.

I have heard the Definitives. I'm pretty sure that was the model but I'd have to verify.

It's possible you actually prefer their sound, and that's fine.
However, from a sound accuracy point of view, the M60s should be blowing them away. I didn't hear the Def's in the same room so it wasn't a direct comparison but to me, they sounded like when I play lower KB/s MP3s. Tone wise it sounded nice but I had trouble picking out out the separation of the different instruments.


Since I've gotten used to the way my M60s seem to create individual instruments instead of hearing all the sounds muddied together, I find I'm a bit pickier when listening to other peoples gear.

I agree, double check those settings but in the end though, only YOU have to like it or not. We don't matter. I don't like the show "Lost" so I'm a target for ridicule here at work myself.

Are they all rabid fans, wearing their "Get Lost" shirts on casual Friday?

Hi all,

Sorry I have been working late since I last posted and was not able to respond. I would first like to thank everyone for the feedback. I think this is one of the best forums that I have ever been apart of. I have not had time to perform all of the setting that where posted. However, I have tried some in the past when I got my speakers out of the box and was trying to adjust them, as I wasn’t already liking the sound. I never got my M60's sounding good at all. And a lot of the setting have to do with the base. But even if I turn the base off, shouldn't the M60's produce a least some decent base. Not as good as the Definitive cause they have a powered woofer in them, but something decent. And even having just the M60's play stereo alone, they should be just fine, but they are not. I really think I need to do a full blown out diagnostic. Start with just plugging in the M60's alone to another amp. I have a cheap old Onkyo hanging around that I will connect. If they sound better, I will know that its the Denon 3808 problem. I will let you guys know what I come up with. I will also try all the fine tuning and adjustments that this forum has requested. Please let me know if there are any other items I should add to be Diag list. And again thanks for all of the help.

P.S. Someone asked to reset the amp on the Denon 3808. Anyone with a Denon 3808 know what are the steps?

Like Jakewash said, double check to make sure the straps between the binding posts are connected. If you are getting no bass, that is a likely problem.

In fact, start out simple, and check all the connections first. Sometimes it's the small things that hold up the whole process.

I agree with Sean--it could very well be the straps.
