My axioms arrived via DHL 4 years ago so assumed that was still the US shipping company they used...

FedEx is who they used for my pair of QS8s this time, and FedEx was used back in 2004 for my other Axioms. Must be whomever is cheaper.

I've gotten them via Fedex, UPS, and DHL.

So they showed up. Boxes were in great shape. I opened them up and loved the magnets holding the grills on. I looked them over looking for any flaws, and there was just a super minor blemish on the one that I tried to take a photo of, but it didn't even show up enough. The other one seems to have a flaw in a 3" section of the top of the QS8. It is under the grill, so you can't even see it.
I also noticed the new mounting bracket. I liked the old mounting brackets, but these seem nice too.
One thing that is noticeably different is the Axiom logo on the front. The V2 QS8s have the silver Axiom logo surrounded with black to make a rectangular "badge". The new ones are just the chrome Axiom logo. I actually kind of like the old badge style better. Mainly because the new "chrome" one looks pre-scratched already. I will probably actually take some fine grit sandpaper (I know, the horror) and put some "grain" into them to make them look more like a brushed metal so that the scuffs don't stand out as much.
Overall, VERY, VERY, VERY happy!
