Well, I got impatient and went ahead and ordered 4 samples. In the Custom Vinyl (CV - Is this a sign?) section, I ordered samples of Vermont Maple and Ebony. In Real Wood, I'm trying out Walnut with a Caramel stain in semi gloss and Natural Rosewood in semi gloss. I'm optimistic about being able to choose from one of these four.
One odd thing is that in the expedited shipping options, both the 2-day and overnight shipping are listed as being $15. Naturally, I opted for the overnight.

I'd be interested in seeing the Vermont Maple, it has always been a consideration of mine, but I am too cheap to go for anything other than what I already have.

It's actually pretty similar to Boston Cherry, a bit darker and a bit less red. That's what I've got.

Bad luck. FedEx tried to deliver my samples today, but I was in the shower. I guess I didn't realize it was a signature required package. This always seems to happen when I order something with expedited shipping. At least when it isn't something I'm getting with Amazon.com Prime. In any case, I'm not in THAT huge of a rush now that my speaker purchase is pushed back, perhaps until the new line is released. I'm still eager to see what the finishes look like. Maybe I'll collect them like baseball cards so I can show people the full catalog of finishes when I start hosting auditions. You know, when the basement is done and I'll be proud to have people over. Whenever that thing I've been talking about for forever happens.

CV, I live pretty close to Boston and my email is on the audition list. I have never had someone contact me for an audition. Very strange. I thought I would have weekly inquiries.

CV, I live pretty close to Boston and my email is on the audition list. I have never had someone contact me for an audition. Very strange. I thought I would have weekly inquiries. Hi, I have a pretty good idea why . . . Often discussing with potential owners asking for a place (most of the times they are looking for a store) to audition the Axiom speakers when I tell them that many Axiom owners gladly offer this service they are more than impressed and their urge to audition them vanishes away. Also there is the fact that a lot of people are shy to go on a stranger to listen to their system. As you might have read somewhere else before . . it even makes these enthousiast Axiom owners somewhat suspicious to competitors' speaker owners.
