Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater System is shipped as we speak (so to speak)

If I were working for Fed Ex, I would keep driving around the block for a couple of hours, then go to Bob's house, ask him how to get to back to the freeway because you had a call from head office that you'd forgotten some large, heavy boxes to be delivered. Uuuuhhhh....put...the...bat...down...Bob....

Speaking of FedEx, I got several boxes with the words "Axiom" stamped over them today, totally unexpected ... anybody have an idea what that may be about?

Guess your wife has a big Cultured Marble project for you that she forgot to tell you about.

Haha! that's hilarious, Rick! uh....wait, they don't have my name on them do they?

So, have the speakers arrived, or did I miss a thread somewhere?

No word yet just that Bob got THE e-mail from Noreen.

I understood, Bob received his speakers, and was setting up this weekend(past). I should be receiving mine within the next 10 days approx.

Hey Adrian, Been away since Friday afternoon on a teenage boy's retreat weekend. Hopefully that experience will help me to better handle the attitudes of some of the posters here. Just got back late last night. Hope to get the rest of the speakers hooked up today.

I'm sorry to say that I haven't been too impressed with the M80's so far. They seem very bright with most music so far. I have a cd of a local jazz trio that sounds pretty good. I played the Allman Bros at the Fillmore East. The drums sound very thin. Bass is pretty solid. Very good detail but it doesn't sound well balanced.
Regular TV is really bothering me. The voices sound extremely thin and irritating at regular TV listening volume. Sounds fuller when background music kicks in. I'm really worried that the center channel will sound even thinner than the M80's. I learned a very important lesson. You MUST listen to speakers before buying them. I don't understand why I'm hearing things so differently then the guys on the forum. Maybe they are "fan boys". I certainly hope that you have better luck than me.

btw They look very good in the room. I thought my wife would shriek at their size but she also likes the look. I'll try to take some pics today. BoB

PS So far the only Wow factor is Wow, I wonder how much return shipping is for a whole system.

That's too bad, Bob. You might try moving them around a bit as placement makes a big difference on bass reinforcement. If you find they are not for you, send them back with no regrets. After all, the goal here is to find you a system that will enjoy for years.

Geez, Bob, I normally would go out of my way to help out a newer forum member with a problem. I can't imagine why I feel no inclination to do so here?
