Very unique idea. Now if only my horizontal ep600 had the same option, I could then try standing it up.

Anybody else but me disappointed to get the newsletter and note the absence of an announcement about the powered desktop set?




Not to get too far off topic... but yes I want to see what the amplifier looks like for these little guys, and when the expected release date is

I have always associated angled logos with something you are supposed to peel off before using the product. Maybe that's just me.

Could I propose that the real problem here is a high contrast black & white logo on a pastel brown speaker/grill ? I don't have time to play with recoloring the logo this morning but I imagine that the angled presentation would look fine if the logo badge were more muted, and it's *possible* that even the current placement might be OK.

I really like the Axiom badging on most of the speakers, but for outdoor speakers (and probably the in-walls) I think the badging should be understated. As long as the logo is clear when you look closely that's what matters IMO.

Just a thought...

I agree with Bridgman,

I think the white stand out a bit too much. Maybe the wording should reflect the colour of speaker as much as possible still being able to see it though contrasting against the grill.

Are the grills removable?

If not, the Amie's proposal could also pose an issue if the person wants both tweeters inside. Then one of the logos would be upside down, and out of place.

I vote leave them in a bag for the owner to apply.

Maybe a tad late for my input but I agree with John ... whenever I see the corner angled tags on products my first reaction is that this must be a sale item or as John says a peel off prior to using tag. Regardless of the color scheme the angled nameplate seems to diminish the overall glamour and style that audio speakers ought to convey ... to me anyways.
