Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater m22ti worth upgrading?

Hi,
I may have asked the question in the past but wasn't able to find it. Does anyone went from the m22ti to the m80

I already have QS8 for the surrounds and a kick ass PSB 12" sub but was wondering if it would be worth to upgrade to m80 for the front.

But it's a 1500$ upgrade that I can't judge the value.

anyone did it?

I will probably upgrade my center to the vp150 my current axiom center is more than 8-9 years old.

thanks for reading

Luc,

How big is your room? That is one thing to consider.

Most notably, you'll notice the ability to play louder cleaner, and you'll hear a lot more "fuller" upper bass straight from the speaker.

For movies, you'll get a much bigger sound.

According to Alan, the M22's and a sub sound VERY similar to the M80's. I think I heard him mention in an article or a post that in his home/test room he has m22's and m80's. At one point he didn't know whether he was listening to the M22's or the M80's.

I would say if you have the money, like to listen loud, and want to have beautiful big towers, then go for it.

Dang Luc, you must be going for a Post record lately.

for a 13 x 13 room the 80's would kill you.

would it be stupid to throw in another sub instead of getting a pair of m80? I don't think my system sounds bad, but I allways fear that something is missing and I don't know why.

Many people use 2 subs to achieve smoother response throughout the room and a greater "pressurization." Depending on your tastes that isn't stupid at all

so how does two m22ti + 2 subs compares against a m80+single sub setup?


my setup is mostly 95% for movies/tv/gaming -- 5% music

I can't say as I haven't heard M80's at all, nor M22 with two subs, although I hope to achieve that goal at some point in the not too distant future.

how did you notice?

In Stargate Atlantis they refer to this as Ascension
