All I can say is - thank you! I never thought I’d be able to afford speakers that sound like the Axiom M 60s I received today. Sending you $800 US for speakers that I had not auditioned was a little disconcerting, but WOW, these are incredible.
A friend, who is a real audiophile, came over to hear them this afternoon. When the music stopped, it was REALLY quite in my listening room. My friend couldn’t say a word. He was amazed. He turned and ran out to his car and screeched out of the drive.
Soon he returned with his studio reference Boston Acoustics VR-M90s and another audio buff you helped him carry them. None of us could believe it. We all agreed that the $800 US Axioms were comparable to the $2,700 US (list) Boston Acoustics. I liked the Axioms better. The Axioms had a brighter sound and the Boston speakers didn’t reproduce vocals very well. My friend thought that the Axioms were maybe a little too bright. However, he had to justify paying $1,900 US for what I admit is a nicer cabinet.
Thanks again,
Alan

Axioms are "the great equalizer." Most people -- especially audiophiles -- believe you need to spend well over $1000 to get really great speakers, and they do spend that and much more.
Axioms are very affordable high-end speakers for the rest of us.
Congrats on your purchase. Next time, have a box of tissues handy and a comfortable place to lie down available in case people start crying or feeling lightheaded.

Boy, do we love to hear stories like that. I've had my M60s for just a little over a week and, like you, I'm thrilled! Much higher quality sound reproduction than I thought I'd ever be able to afford. I'm sure there are "better" speakers out there, but they'll cost a LOT more. It feels so good to get your moneys worth, doesn't it?

Congrats on your new purchase...I have mine for a little over a month now and I just can't stop listening to them.(M60)
Everytime I sit down to listen to some tunes; I would say to myself "Thank God I bought these speakers" and I thats a good thing because I'm a very picky person.
They are for sure the best purchase by far. Maybe except my house.
Enjoy.

you see, now this is the kind of post which makes 'expecting' speaker newbies, anticipate being BLOWN AWAY by the speakers once they come in.. i still have 3 weeks to wait, and its getting harder by the day. i already have two buddies from work biting at the bit for me to get them set up so they can come over and give a listen. one guy has paradigm speakers(powered by a yamaha), and the other friend has boston acoustics speakers(powered by a HUGE sony receiver).. anyway, they want to do comparisions as bad as i do.
hopefully, i will have more to say than, "thank you!" i want to say, "F'N A MAN, THESE SPEAKERS ROCK!!!"

We just bought our first house and I'm presently debating what was the best purchase, the speakers or the house.
