Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo can't decide if Axiom is for me...

All highs and low with no mid. Muddy bass . . . Gotta go with BOSE!!

Sorry couldn't resist

I can't stand Bose, and it's the exact type of speaker I do not want. When listen to bose all i hear is muddy midrange with no clear crisp clear highs, and a weak bass. Might as well listen to the speakers on my laptop. My father has a complete Bose system, and I think it sounds like @#$@#$.

I was waiting for my gf yesterday at the mall, so I visited the Bose factory store just to kill time.

I was entertained,...or maybe feel sorry for - people who walk out with a 3 grand HTIB. With 3K, they could have bought...say..a Denon 2805 and M60s, then some M22s for the surrounds and a sub. That would be a little more I think, but you do get something that is relatively kick butt!

The only additional speakers that are in the plan is a pair of M3ti for the garage, this will take advantage of the spare channel on one of the A21s.

just point and laugh, thats what i do... J/K...

One of the next door neighbors has five of the Bose cubes, some Wal-Mart brand CD player and a receiver. He still thinks his system sounds as good as the Halo/Axiom here, I just nod and agree.

I'll have to throw in my own Bose story.

The mix cd that I sent out to a few of you...I wanted to listen to it all the way through before making multiple copies and be sure there were no problems with it.

I started listening to it at home...then moved to my car on my way to a friends house. So far so good. Brought the cd with me to his place. He has a Bose 5.1 system with those itty bitty speakers and the "bass module". I asked if I could throw it in... oh...my...god. It sounded like CRAP. Worse than crap. Unlistenable. I didn't dare say anything though, as I didn't want to offend. But man oh man...those Bose outlets make sure you hear just the right stuff through their systems.

Then we watched a movie (a quiet drama) and you'd never know that his system could not reproduce music. The movie sounded alright. So whenever I hear that a speaker is great for HT, but not so good for music I just think..."oh, so it's a crap speaker.".

nice to know that the axiom's sound nothing like bose. i should have mentioned that from the start as a point of reference. I can't stand bose.

I hope everybody realizes that I was having some fun at BOSE expense.

Yep, Axiom is to Corvette, as BOSE is to Chevette.
