Congrats. I bet you will be watching more movies in the near future. I can't wait to hear what your wife says when the big subwoofer arrives!

I would bet if you talked to Axiom they would honour the Owner's pricing on the EP800.

SK - congrats, I'm really glad to hear you're happy with the sound! (not that I had any doubt) ;\)

Just call Brent or JC and tell them what you're trying to do. I don't think there's any secret password required to prove that you are an Axiom owner, which you clearly are anyway. You should be good to go. \:\)

Congrats gld to hear you like what you are hearing. Certainly worth the call to Axiom to find out, can't imagine why they wouldn't either.

Thanks, yes the beauty goes on, even at very low volumes the detail is superlative, it's so much more focused than what I am used to, the emotional content of the soundtrack and also the dialogue are crystal clear, I used to play electric music and have needed to employ subtitles at times to recognize dialogue but no more, I can understand every word and nuance even at low volumes, waiting for the rest of the system will be challenging but I do believe the ep800 will be worth the wait . . .

It is the low volume playback that really makes the M80's shine, well at least to me, as I tend to listen at low volumes more often than not. That was what I really liked about the M22's as well, very articulate and clear at low volumes.

Yes exquisite is the word that comes to mind, I must admit, I expected excellent sound but not to exceed my expectations to such an extreme degree, I currently maintain such a sense of wonder that I can afford to capture so much beautiful, subtle sound in my humble abode, I have to keep going back to listen because it is just beyond belief. You've got my wheels turning now about the M22s as well, if not somewhere else in my own home, I may have to talk my best friend at work into buying them for his HT system that is still in the formative ideational stage.

I appreciate everyone's input a great deal, because I never buy any tech product these days unless professional reviews are backed by nearly unanimous consumer endorsement, with the only acceptable outliers being due to disgruntlement about some feature that is a deal breaker for one consumer but not a must have feature for me.

I called JC at Axiom and he states that he will place a request to send an owner's club invite to my email early next week, at which time I will immediately place an order for the EP800, 4 qs8s, and a VP150. As hard as it is to wait I believe part of the zen of all this is in the discipline to have the patience to get the best.

You certainly aren't kidding around with an order like that. \:\) Congrats!

SatKartr, it's a lot of fun to read your posts about how much you're enjoying the system (and the great thing is, it just gets better from here).

It's great to see how it worked out given the rather auspicious beginnings at our audition. \:D

And it just keeps going. 6 months on and I still get that wow feeling.
