Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Axiom vs. av123's Rockets

This was the review that I had asked Craig about in the first place. I had noticed it was from 2005 and I tracked him down to ask him if he still felt that way. You read his response.

There are a few other curious comments in that review.

In post #40 he states:

"Make sure, if you are interested in these speakers, that you get amplification and front end worthy of them. I can easily understand why people could consider them "bright" when using a $700 receiver."

In post #43 he states:

"Look into Harmon Kardon receivers for entry level performance - Here is one for under $700 delivered from OneCall that will work great - Harmon Kardon 635

A receiver under $700 will work GREAT?

Hey. I'm not as dumb as I look! Do you think that I listen to any of you guys at all?

Is Craig a "professional reviewer"? At the time I read through that review I thought he was just a Joe with a desire to audition speakers almost as a hobby.

Check the price of Aperion again!

I decided that I liked the idea of a dedicated midrange section. I know that most of what we hear and most of what musical instruments produce is in that range. I also know that that thinking is somewhat flawed as there are many great high end 2 way speakers out there. I do like the flair at the bottom of the cabinet for more stability on the Aperion.

I have to say that I was impressed with Axiom's track record in the industry and their R&D along with the many good reviews and awards on their products. Of course that's not fair to an up and coming company. Only time can bring about a track record.

Maybe I should get the Aperion delivered also? Maybe downgrade my order to M80's only and do a compasrison first???

Might be mixing Canadian/US pricing?

Bob, I gotta say that I believe you're over-thinking this.

Relax. You're going to love the Axioms.

And, I assume you're joking when you keep posting that you're checking the door everyday. In case you're not, Axiom sends an e-mail to let you know when the order has shipped... (just in case you DIDN'T know that!).....

Yes, he was joking about checking his front door everyday, Mark. He hasn't been home since he ordered the M80s, he's set up a tent outside the local Fedex distributor!

I just wanted to make sure! It would suck to order Outlet stuff without knowing you get a "shipped" e-mail and spend all that time with your nose pressed against the window.

This from someone who admittedly is really bad about waiting for a delivery or customer or other reason for the door to ring....

Sorry, I didn't see the "each" part, I thought is was for a pair. This is what happens when I do this kind of stuff ealy Sunday morning.

Thanks

I noticed the flair stands at the bottom of the Aperion's as well. It gives me some ideas.

And I wouldn't change your order either. At some point you need to stop researching, be confident in your decision and start enjoying your purchase.

>>At some point you need to stop researching, be confident in your decision and start enjoying your purchase.

I never reach that point. I just run out of time and get to the point where every option has problems and I wonder if I should be buying any of them.

That's when I say "what the ^%#&^$%" and pick whatever feels right at the moment. I'm always happy with the results.
