Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Hearing Things Blind Test and a review of the LFR-1100's

Hi Mojo,

The LFRs are legal in Canada

I set you up perfectly for that one.

Thumbs up emoji doesn't work...
Less than a month away.
Get to see a concert a few days after, can't wait to see the cloud in the arena.

Any members going to see the Foo fighters in Edmonton on Monday night?

Wish I had a bigger room and a bigger budget.
Would consider fully active M5HP's to be next on the list though.
Don't really want to trade up my ADA to get there...
Lol

I don't think Axiom will offer fully active M5s any time soon. I think only LFR models will be fully active. It's a real shame because the M5s may very well be the only speakers 99% of listeners need. We were watching the last few episodes of GOT on BluRay last night at -10 on the Onk which is about all my ears can take. You could feel the energy coming off the M5s from 10 feet away. It was seamless wall-to-wall sound across 22 feet and tall and deep to boot. There was nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, that I felt was missing. All speakers had disappeared and there was just clean, transparent sound!

The large room indeed makes one heck of a difference. I don't know how I'll ever be able to down-size.

Hi Mojo,

Actually, there is such a thing in development right now. I think a fully active M5HP would make a great studio monitor.

My apologies, Ian. Will you be preserving the current M5HP family of curves or modifying them for near-field listening?

Whats your honest opinion on using them to achieve the best of both worlds, HT and 2.0, in a small(ish) room.
Not necessarily near field, I would expect to maintain an ~8-12' listening distance.

We have more control over the details when using a DSP in a fully active system instead of an analog crossover. So the family of curves would be similar but more refined.
