Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater After 20 years I've decided to upgrade!!!

Had . . .
- Pioneer receiver (circa late '80's). Paid $1200 in order to get the new thing called Dolby Surround!!!
- Hitachi 28" TV
- DbPlus 990 tower speakers, new in '89.
- Koss M60 bookshelf speakers.
- A cheap Mirak 12" subwoofer bought for only ~$100 on sale at Radio Shack (when Canada still had "Radio Shacks").
- Std Bell ExpressVu.

Now . . .
- Yamaha HTR 6060 reciever (bought 6 months ago).
- Hitachi 51" HD Widescreen.
- HD Bell ExpressVu.
- And just purchased online here about 20 minutes ago . . . the Axiom Epic 50-500 speaker package!!!

I expect to hear and noticed a little difference!!!! Ironically there was nothing wrong with the old system. Everything still works! But it was probably a little dated. LOL

Thats great news! I think you will be wowed by the upgrade. When I started my upgrade adventure, I thought I was completely happy with 2 channel tv sound for movies and was upgrading purely for music. I must say that I am so thrilled by the improvement in clarity for movies and surround sound is pretty cool!

Let us know how it works out.

I have a case of upgradeitis also :-). You will be thrilled with your new Axioms along with the rest of your sweet setup! I am envious of your television.

80'sMan welcome.... Real80'sMan should be along soon.

Curious if you ordered from the factory outlet to get your 10% + 5% discounts? Also, why did you go with the m50's versus the 60's?

I think you will be very happy with your upgrade.

Wow, that's going to be earth shattering for you when it's all complete. Enjoy!

Thank's for all the kind words. It's kind'a ironic. I ordered all new as opposed to the factory outlet because there was quite a wait time (especially for the rear surrounds, up to 3 weeks). After all these years and dreaming about upgrading I couldn't wait and get the discount. But on the flip side I got the M50's instead of the M60's because I've really maxed out my budget, and then some, already!!!! I hope it will all be good. Maybe there will be a future upgrade in my future.

Maybe there will be a future upgrade in my your future.

You will see. Oh yess, you will see!

The Jedi Mind trick just can't be as effective when you use dashes.

speaking of jedi, does anyone plan on watching that new animated star wars movie that is comming out?

I will definitely watch it, but not until it comes to dvd/bluray
