Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners How long for Factory Outlet to ship?

They scheduled to ship on the 21st... feels like i've been waiting an eternity! lol.

remind me again, when and what did you order?

2 M60's, 1 VP150, 2 QS8's

No confirmation email today With the holiday weekend it probably won't head for the shipping dock until Monday or Tuesday

Holiday weekend? Only for you folks south of the 49th.

received my confirmation number from axiom.

My speakers are in route via purolator. Once they reach the border they will transfer over to dhl and head to good ol' oklahoma.

DHL will be shut down thanksgiving, I assume everything will resume again friday.

I expect my speakers to depart the border friday, and arrive sometime early to mid of next week at the latest!

Sounds like you will be in a waiting-for-my-speakers stupor for a few days! Try to sleep it off!

tell me about it! I have already hooked up my receiver/components, set up my av rack, ran all of my speakerwire, toyed with the denon gui for a few hours, programmed the remote ect... I am out of things to do to pass time!

Now I need to decide how high to place my rear surrounds. my couch is against the back wall and I will be placing my surrounds on the back wall near the corners a bit. I think I may place them at about 5' because Ibought two 5 foot sticks of cable mate cable hider to go from the base board to the speaker... does that sound to high?

Too high? You or the speakers?

I have my side surrounds 2.5 feet above ear level and my rear about 1 feet above. I used to have them higher, but they now add more presence that way in my setup.

My speakers have come this far:

only 270 miles between me and my speakers now

Hi terzaghi,

My Axiom colleague (AmieC) and I were working on the newsletter and she came up with a line about "the agony of the wait" for FO shipping.

About the QS8 height: When customers ask me, I usually say "from 2 feet to 5 feet above ear level," but I hate generalizing like that. The QS8s are quite forgiving of placement asymmetry--they don't need to be at identical heights--however, I encourage you to try a couple of stepladders (or an able assistant) to temporarily position the QS8s at different heights to see if you have a preference. It's certainly room-dependent and you may prefer the surround field with them at a particular height. In my own rectangular living room, one is about 10 inches higher than the other, and somewhat farther forward, with no discernible ill effects.

Regards,
