Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Well it's not quite Dennis-like but...........

Let me say I have always been one to think the amplification issue is over rated, and over stated. Well, I was wrong. Just put the last piece of my 3 piece sunfire set-up in last night, The new processor, and wow!!! I was doing a serious dis-service the the m-60s. I don't know how I can find the money for my next meal, but they have NEVER sounded so smooth, full, open yet tight, clean open detailed, I am out of adjatives. Put the sunfire grand theater 3 preamp/processor, running 2 seperate amps, a 600x2 2 channel signature bi-wired to the 60s, with a 5x400 5 channel signature for the 150, side surround QS-8s and rear 22s. Not that it ever sounded bad, it sounded good with the RXV-1500, in fact most casual observers would say real good. But the addition of that sunfire pre/pro was incredible. The 3 make a sound that makes you just want to listen for hours on end. I just cannot personally believe the difference. It's alot of "investment" (that's the word I tell my wife), but she agrees it's like night and day. I am very happy with my Axioms now reaching their full potential, and with the 2 SVS monsters don't make it bad to watch a flick either.

Well, someone has been busy while they've been away. Great to see you back on the boards man, and no doubt the Sunfire set-up is awesome! When do we get to see pics?

yes, pics, PICS!!

As soon as I figue this photobucket crap again - LOL, I went with the 3 processor and not the 4, because (this probably sounds like a real dumb reason) because the new 4 only comes in the 17" chasis, the other 2 amps are 19" chasis which I like better, I don't like craming 1200 and 2000 watts of power in the smaller cabinets. I spoke of my disapointment direct with sunfire on the chasis issue. Talk about service, they individually built a theater grand 3 in the 19" just for me! Something they don't "do" anymore. 5 years all parts all labor warranty, nice. And much less cost then the TG-4. Not cheap, but much less. They are almost the same with the 4 adding dolby II-x and not just dolby-II. It sounds silly, but I wanted them all the same size/cabinet. They sit in a vertiacl rack. You can crank em and they don't even begin to heat up even after hours. They are hand built in washington, and like Axiom, their customer service is awesome. I'll get some pics out when I fiure the stupid computer end of it out.

Sounds to me like you may be in need of a pair of 80s John...

Like you, I was so impressed with the clarity of the sound with my seperates, unbelievable clarity at any sound level.

Sounds like you did great...Congrats!

I just noticed after reading your profile that you are in Lake Worth, I'm just right up the road from you in Vero...stop in sometime!

Was working on the floor tile and thought I heard my name mentioned.

Congrats on the new toys and welcome to the club of seperate owners. You have some great units and should be like I and now find more time to do nothing but listen to the system. lol

Bob, we go by Vero all the time. Just 2 weeks ago we were up in sebastian. We take the bikes (harley road king and deuce) several times to a little joint on the Idian river called sportsman inn. good fishin and riding, just good reasonable place to get out of palm beach county traffic. Bought some property in Hope Sound which is "closer"

Like it "up there"

Well then, if you ever cruise up A1A, we're right off the beach by a block and a half where 510 and A1A intersects, right near Disney's Vero Resort...stop in!

I'll PM you my phone number.

I used to go to "The Patio" every week - met my aunt from Cape Canaveral there when I was living in West Palm (hey, Canadians have no sense of distance.) Do you ever get there? We went again in January when I was visiting her for old times' sake and it was still SRO.
