Forgive me Axiom for I have sinned. It's been five years since my last order.
I got a beautiful turntable for my 50th birthday and then realized the receiver I have in my office doesn't have a phono input.
I was just about to purchase a new receiver when I realized I have an old Rotel RA-1062 I could use and a pair of B-Stock M3s was less expensive than a new receiver.
Heck of a deal in that B-stock department! A pair of Walnut M3s for under $450 shipped!
There's a chance we may get a new larger tv in our living room at some point. If we do the in/on wall M22 and VP150 will need to go, so more Axioms may be in our future (VP160 and M5HP!)

Which walnut? The nutmeg or bordeaux? The nutmeg is the only one I don't like. Looks like orangutan hide.
The M3v4 is real nice. Good call on the M5 and 160.
That Rotel may not be enough for the M5 depending on room, listening distance, desired SPL and whether or not you're using a sub. It's a real swine.

They're bordeaux walnut.
The Rotel will only be powering the M3s playing vinyl. No sub.
If we end up upgrading the living room gear, the M5HP and VP 160 (along with the QS8s I already have) will be powered by a Marantz SR6007. Sub is the EP500.

Welcome back Craig, if only for a drive by. You have a good list of gear expectations there. The future M5HP, VP160, Marantz and existing sub will be fantastic.
