Alan, I'll definitely take a look at them.
Will there soon be a page on the Axiom website displaying them?

The new R-972 is supposed to have 6 HDMI inputs, that are v1.3- and the receiver is supposed to also have Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA support. Retail is supposed to be $1499. Nice.

I saw that today on another website and it perked my interest. Perhaps we can get a good price from Axiom!! I would like to hear Alan's opinion on the 972.

Axiom is now an exclusive on-line distributor of Sherwood Newcastle AV receivers and amps. We bench-tested the receiver models at the plant and even the least expensive AV unit (combined with a DVD player; no longer available) will drive the 4-ohm M80s with no current limiting or shut-down. They have very robust amplifiers and are worth looking into.

If I could offer one piece of constructive criticism to improve Axioms "communication", it would simply be that I wish there was a system in place for "press releases" beyond the newsletters. It seems that often something is mentioned in passing that, to many of us, qualifies as big news and yet there's no "informational release" via this forum or perhaps a nice HTML or .PDF e-mail. They do everything else right, though!

Hi Don,
I'm sure we'll get a 972 in and put it through a bunch of tests. I'll certainly post here when that happens.

Alan, I don't see anything about the Sherwoods on the web site. Am I just missing it, or is this development not yet being advertised?

Jack, er, uhm, you aren't missing anything. There isn't anything on the site yet. My bad. I kind of let it slip out prematurely. Perhaps I got swept up in the audio-video overload of the Consumer Electronics Show. Stay tuned for a formal announcement later on.
