That is a masterpiece!!!!! I love it!!!! I’ve got all the spaghetti westerns on DVD.
Totally agenious idea to re create that with a full orchestra!!!
Stoked to hear your Initial review with the new amp. You get an ADA? Or an Emotiva? ( did you post that somewhere? )
Glad you’re enjoying them. !!! That’s great that you thought subs were still playing but it was the m100.
A new amp is gonna make those m100s into a whole other beast.

You see, in this world there's two kinds of people. Those with Axioms, and those without.

I’d love to do a blind a/b/c/d test in Dwight. That would be really fun. It would be interesting to have some big $$$ speakers in the line up too and see what happens and let the chips fall where they may.
I agree mojo. There are those that have axioms and those that don’t. I have no doubt there are people that don’t like the axiom house sound but I’m a believer. Looking forward to hearing more axioms in the future.
Edit: I’d like to hear some klipsch heritage speakers too but in my living room. Not at a shop or big box store. ( I’ve heard a few like that. So so. ).
Edit 2: Why else would I be up chatting on the axiom forum!.

I've had the opportunity to listen to high end B&W, martin login, def tec, Elac, KEF, and a few others in a carefully setup listening room. I'm happy to say nothing compared to the 100's in my terrible listening room, except for one pair of speakers, the B&W 800 diamond series... those were the best, unfortunately for me, they cost 15k per speaker.
Lots of speakers from many manufactures...mostly Axiom

Wow. That’s high praise Rebulx. 15k per tower for the diamonds eh? That’s a lot of cash.
The M100 s sounds like a true flagship speaker.

So 15$x2= $30k for diamonds. Just speakers.
Well $30k with AXIOM gets you ACTIVE LFR 1100 with ALL the goodies. Both ADA 1500 amps , DSP x2 , XLR cables, EP 800x2 and of course the LFR 1100 towers. There’s probably still room in that $30 k for a pair of ep600 as well.
I’m gonna add that to my wish list. Maybe it’ll pop up on the refurb store. Ha ha.
Edit: don’t forget the custom finish of your choosing.

The 800s might sound great but the design is a turn off for me. I prefer more traditional designs.

The KEF Blade comes to mind or the Nautilus Series. Hideous. I actually really like the axiom look or just good ole boxes with strong build non resonant build.

Hmmm...what about the design turns you off? I am just curious.

I was purely commenting on the aesthetics of it. I don’t know anything of the design or internals.
I assumed that’s what Canes was talking about. Maybe not.
I’m just old fashioned I guess. I like simple and clean look and wood grain.
I really like the look of the Klipsch Heritage line in wood grain. I wanna try horns one day too.
