Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners QS10 or QS8 for my small space? Price Increase Ed

If you try it, you're heading down a slippery slope.

Just noticed the QS10s are increasing in price by $400. Glad I got them now as I likely would not have spent that much after the increase.

Yeah, I've been thinking of trading in my QS10s for active LFRs so I can have a fully active set-up.

I noticed Axiom reintroduced their anchor pricing of regular price and "special" pricing. It's a stupid sales technique that insults a savvy consumer, so I'm assuming they're bring it back temporarily to ease the regular price as the new normal.

Hopefully they'll take it out once the price is adjusted. Fixing their website is a thread onto itself, with broken links, wrong images, a wonky pricing database, and references to SACD/Audio DVD/Dolby Pro Logic II that were written two decades ago. Axiom probably keeps using this e-commerce program because it was paid for decades ago, doesn't require hiring a new site manager with the appropriate skill set, and has minimal security vulnerabilities. But it would be nice if the website would look...modern.

Speaking of inflation, someone having his 15 minutes now is Peter Zeihan, a geopolitical lecturer who's nailed all of the big geopolitical events of the last 15 years, including this playbook of the Russian invasion...discussed back in 2014 (!):

Alongside the collapse of China this decade and Alberta eventually breaking away from Canada, he's predicting our current inflation to be the new normal for the next several years.

Prices increased Aug. 15th. Ian however is so generous, he is offering a special price until at least the 23rd.

Received my QS10s yesterday and set them up. First impressions is they sound really great. I watched an episode of stranger things and just wow. Listened to a track of EDM and they are impressive. I think I need to turn the volume down on them a bit, but the bass response on these are noticeable.

I still need to tweak the settings for the system as once I setup the speakers, it feels like the center channel was lower in volume than before I added them. Also I have noticed an increase in the pressure of the room with these added.

They really add to the immersion of the experience, that is for sure.

I ended up setting them up per Mojos suggestion. Built a stand coming for the ceiling for the open side that is sturdy. I will take some pictures and post soon.
