kgt,

I am running Axiom 4 ohm M80s for mains and 2 M3s in parallel, (=4 ohm) for centers.

The 80s are rated:

SPL in Room 1w/1m(dB): 95 dB
SPL Anechoic 1w/1m(dB): 91 dB

As reported above, the readouts show 2 or less most of the time. The most I've seen was high 20s during the Master/Commander gun scene while listening at 88-90 spl. The mains are set to small, btw.

I have yet to see the speakers, amps (Monster and 3 monoblocks), Denon, DVD and TV pull more that 6 amps. The sub is on the same circuit but not on the power center yet.

I am impressed with the amp so far. I hope to get some additional listening this weekend. I hosted an auditon last weekend, so I didn't get a lot of my music and HT time.

The gentleman here was truly impressed with what he heard. Great sound reproduction was his comment. The system was driven to high volume levels with no distortion and the amps never got warm.

More next week.

Doug
