Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Where for art thou Sushi!!!

Mike,

How about the latter part of next week (Thursday~Saturday)? Remember we cannot use the front projector until after dark, since I don't have window treatments. Perhaps you can arrive in late afternoon/early evening, and we can start with the audio part.

Sushi if you're in the market for $5000 speakers, have you listened to anything from Snell Acoustics? They make some very nice high end speakers. Heck I have a pair of their lowly Type K/II bookshelf speakers, and they're excellent. Definately worth taking a peek at.

Don't be turned off by their less than stellar website.

Thursday is no good for me. Saturday is a possibility but don't know yet. Friday would be ok except that I can't get away until 6:00 P.M. I'm guessing that driving time to your place is about 30-40 min?

BTW, did you get my PM regarding a certain person coming to Texas?

Yeah, I remember it was 30-40 min drive. Let me think about the schedule, and I will get back with you.

And yes, I did respond to your PM a few days ago, regarding the certain person.

Some how I missed the reply.

Craig,

Thanks for the suggestion. I found a Snell Reference dealer in the DFW area; I will visit them hopefully next week.

Oops, that was email rather than PM, Mike.
Go check your email...

Nope, it's not there. Could have been accidently deleted. Sorry.

You've got mail...

So... Last Saturday Mike (mwc) came to my house with his pair of Maggie MG12s. We had several hours of serious fun!!! Thanks again, Mike, for taking the trouble to carry the Maggies.

I am now convinced that:

(1) I will be able to place the Maggies appropriately in our living room (I am thinking about the 3.6/Rs). Thanks to its large openings to other rooms, the back of the panel can be wide-open.

(2) I will even be able to integrate a pair of Maggies adequately with my other 5.1 speakers, i.e., the Axiom VP150 and QS8s. In part thanks to the MCACC, the Maggies could provide a surprisingly seamless surround sound in the "demo" movie scenes in the DVDs Mike brought with him (Titan A.E. and Evolution).


In return (?), I think the session convinced Mike that he now wants a front projector in his house.

[btw, Mike, you left two things in my house -- your jacket and one of the DVD platters.]
