Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Boston Cherry Finish - brown?

think you're right. how about some painted pvc pipe.
comp;aining about $3.00 nuts? what's that in comparison to what you spent on one interconnect?

To be honest, i didnt spend anything on those interconnects... They were given to me by a friend.

I personally love the Boston Cherry finish. It's pretty brown, that's a fact, but it's still nice, regardless.

You could cut PVC to the lengths needed and paint it with a metallic looking paint like this:



The plywood shelves are trimmed with oak and the "footers" (which are threaded) are standard items at home improvement stores. The top shelf has the nut recessed in the plywood so the rod doesn't stick out.

Are those a pair of MMG's I see david?

Good eyes twopecker! I have M60s now...

How would you describe the sound of the M60s as compared with the Magnepan speakers?

the most obvious, and hardest to explain would be to say that Axioms sound like they're coming from a box, the magnepans dont.

Why did you decide to replace the Maggies?

The Maggies are VERY dependant on placement and don't have very good bass. The MMGs are the budget Maggies, but still do a great job for 2 channel music if you also use a sub. They don't throw as wide a soundstage as the M60s either, so they weren't as good for home theater. I actually preferred my Apogee's over the Maggies, but I think the Axiom speakers are closer to the Apogee's detail without the limitations of a ribbon speaker.
