Axion, Chane or Aperion Audio
Guys for sometime I have been wanting to get better mains and was looking at budget speakers but since I am planning on keeping them for a very long time I now want something that delivers. When I am able to make the purchase my budget is around $2200. I don't plan on buying real soon but I want to do some homework on higher end speakers this time so when the time comes I will be well informed and prepared. I do have a sub that delivers and it is the KK dxd 12012.
I have been looking at the Axiom, Chane and Aperion brand and am looking for floor standing with center of course.
The use would be for movies and music. I am looking for clean, clear audio. Especially for movie watching I want to be able to hear whispers and for music be able to hear every instrument.
I see some have 2 drivers, 3, 7 etc. Is more better? In order for me to obtain what I am looking for what would be the best choice?
Thank you!

I think to be honest you would be very disappointed. I had forgotten exactly your room layout. Imo, the best chance would be to have them flank the fireplace. This(imo) would be problematic also since the majority of the imaging would fall below the horizontal plane of the TV. It's not as bad with your in ceiling speakers since the screen and speakers are closer together, and the angles between the LP, screen,and speakers are vastly different than having them on the floor. And the center... Gotta get out my thinking hat. And borrow Lou's decoder ring. Lol
Yeah I would have to get the tv off the fireplace and buy a tv stand and place the tv with the speakers where the couch and sub is on the pic and forget about the in ceilings. Do I have an issue with that of course not but wife loves having the tv over the fireplace.I think to be honest you would be very disappointed. I had forgotten exactly your room layout.

Well, I've seen TV mounts that drop down in front of the fireplace for use then back up for not use(yeah. I just wrote that lol). I would consider that as a great option. Theres a link somewhere on here. One of the biggest issues would be, if both speakers are on the right side of the TV, all of your left side effects will be on the wrong side of the screen. There goes all your imaging. I think you'll be looking at on wall, or drop down TV mount. That's the one I like.

Here's an example. They also have a speaker attachment!

Thank you for taking the time to look into thishttp://www.dynamicmounting.com/fireplace-tv-mounts?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=ad3&utm_campaign=Dynamic%20Mount%20-%20Google%20build.

I don't think I knew about this mounts. They seem very interesting.In my case since the room is not squared and the tv is mounted diagonally I am better off placing the tv on a stand that can hold my components and place the speakers the traditional way.
I'll have to convince the wife it's better and hopefully with new speakers she will understand and like what she hears lol.
Well, not knowing your wife, if she is like mine, you may have a tough sell. Lol. If she's into it like you however it might be easier. Btw, I don't mind at all. As long as I can tip the balance toward performance! Or at least show some things that can help.
Thanks once again. If it were up to my wife a small tv with no surrounds would do lol. Upgradetitis is never easy in this household.Well, not knowing your wife, if she is like mine, you may have a tough sell. Lol. If she's into it like you however it might be easier.

Lol. Sounds like home. Ahhh....
I'm trying to hone my pitch on buying an amp to go into the rack.

Just get the Emotiva because when all is said and done you KNOW that's what you're getting. Those pretty blue lights are oh so tempting!Lol. Sounds like home. Ahhh.... I'm trying to hone my pitch on buying an amp to go into the rack.
(Hypnotized voice) mmmmmm bluuue lights..... Yes. if for no other reason! A great amp under the hood is just a bonus.
I would put the TV in a place to allow proper positioning of the speakers.
Yes when the time comes I won't have a choice but to do so. ThxI would put the TV in a place to allow proper positioning of the speakers.
Between the Axiom 60v towers and SVS Prime towers. Which one would provide better mid bass? The feel in the chest feeling. Of course while using a sub.
Looking at the spec sheets on both I would lean towards the SVS towers But it's a tough call. I think you would be hard pressed to hear a great difference between the two. I think the high end on the Axion may be a bit better.
IMHO, if you cross at 80hz, which most will recommend, it won't matter. To ME, I find that since kick drums are tuned between 35 and 80hz roughly, and a lot of bass guitar is in there too, your KK will be providing the "punch". Upper harmonics of lower freq's add some clarity, and "attack" but not real punch in the gut.Between the Axiom 60v towers and SVS Prime towers. Which one would provide better mid bass?

Audyssey set the center at 100 and L,R to 150hz. On paper the speakers can go much lower but being placed in ceiling there is no option to move them. My KK is helping the mains in where they lack but having mains that can cross lower than what I currently have I should be able to get more out of them. Better placement, more drivers, tweeters and a sealed enclosure.
Im learning here haha!

I can't speak for the SVS but my M60 V2's bass response mixes well with my PSA subs using Audyssey XT32. I can't wait to get some mains when I upgrade that can be used for full range though :bigsmile:
