Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler CV's Subterranean Adventure

She sounds good on the Force. My problem is I'm constantly comparing both Airs to my other systems. I can never be happy with the Airs if I keep doing that. The lack of soundstage is killing me.

Charles, play this at reference level. This is what I use to demo the actives. Everyone who has heard this one became convinced the actives were birthed by deities.

Very nice. Are you maintaining a list of your demo material?

My system is finally running full-tilt again. Besides getting the Actives going, today I got a replacement for the v3 EP800 I had up front that quit working. It's now a v4 in Rosewood to match my Actives. I'll still have to read up on adjusting the phase knob. I also want to do more experimentation with positioning the Actives, but it sounds really good as is. The only other issue is the Actives do have a hum loud enough I can hear it in the listening position when there's no sound playing. I don't think there's anything I can do about that now, but maybe in the future.

Charles, I am through demoing and tweaking. I am finally at the stage where I am enjoying all my systems.

The hum and hiss is something Axiom will have to address. I am patiently waiting.

I'd say you've earned it after all of the work you've put in.

I'm always in a state of enjoying it, but I have no doubt some patient trial and error can get me to another level.

Thank you for acknowledging my effort. It is not something I enjoy.

All evidence to the contrary.
I tweaked for some time with the HT system and then eventually i tired of it. I stopped researching minute and infinitesimal tweaks than broader changes like speaker brand. I would still like to get a laptop someday to run some frequency sweeps in my HT room though. I just cant' be bothered to buy a laptop when i have no other use for it.
Next time you're in town Mojo...

Have an IPad? Use Audiotools by Studio Six Digital.

Its not free but worth every penny. No external mic needed. In fact the internal mic is preferred for measuring phase if you get the transfer function module.

Much easier to use than REW with a laptop.

Not that they look much different than the M3 v3 Algonquins they replaced, but here are the new M3 v4 Wireless in my bathroom.
