Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler GOT MY TRACKING NUMBERS!!!

Forgot to mention that I like your new avatar better than the old one. The new one seems brighter, and clearer. Lookin Good!

Good Deal John!

Do I forsee a bit of a cold coming on on Friday?

In your excitement, remember to measure twice, drill once...(to turn an old adage)

Pictures, pictures, pictures...get Shannon to take one of you standing next to your new friends...

You're gonna love it!

Enjoy!

What kind of equipment are you using now, bigjohn? Or are you currently tuneless?

thznks to all ya'll.. yes, it is very much like christmas..i will have pics, but not right away.. give me a week or so.

current system is a kenwood receiver and eq combo that i purchased in 1992. a basic sony dvd/cd player, and a pair of MX400 vegas(also bought in 92 when i got the receiver).. they have plenty of bass to spare, but lacking mids, and no highs to speak of. thats it.. oh, and a record player.. its an old MCS/jcpenney reject, but it still plays just fine.. if it aint broke, dont fix it!!

needless to say, i am entering the HT domain FULL SPEED AHEAD. i feel like i should get some kind of greeting card, welcoming me to the 21st century!!

hello bigjohn, meet HT bliss.. enjoy your time together..

Well, if your current speakers are "lacking mids," and have "no highs to speak of," you're probably going to initially hurt your ears with the M60s, because they don't lack either. Be a little judicious with the volume at first. You'll find you won't have to crank the M60s, as you did your old speakers, to hear everything. Just be patient. Give them (your ears) time to adjust to a truly accurate speaker. You're gonna hear things you never heard before. And you're gonna end up lovin' 'em. Betcha!

Wish I could be there the first time you watch a movie with a great sound track.

Just watched The Last Samurai last night and really enjoyed it.

Better yet -- you should "cleanse your audio palette" by listening only to your car stereo with the bass turned all the way down and the treble boosted to max.

Doing that for a week will make practically ANY speaker sound like heaven.

no doubt jack.. i have had plenty of time to prepare for the 'new' sound i will be hearing. after reading all the posts, i know what i have now is oranges to the axioms apples(if that makes sense)..

i am prepared for the difference, and i am prepared to allow myself time to get acustom to the difference. give me a few days to give an honest report on my feelings about the speakers.

Atta Boy. Take all the time you need for your report. As you can see I figured out how to properly resize an avatar.

I don't believe I've ever seen the Ohio flag before. I like it!

Thank you Peter. I kinda like it too. It's the only state flag that is penant shaped. We like to be unique here in Ohio You know. Only Football team without a logo on the helmet; only penant shaped flag, etc. (No cracks you bums!)
