Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater The Perpetual "Waiting for my Axiom's" Thread

i want to laugh, but thats just not funny.

poor guy..

I ordered the epic 60 home theater system through the outlet store. I made this purchase the first week of May so (12 week wait listed) I am looking at receiving them in early August. The wait is killing me… Im a newbie so I thought this would give me a fair amount of time to do some research, order a receiver, and get a new dvd player. Ive sense ordered and received my denon 4802r and dvd-2200. Ive also done a good amount of reading on setting everything up. Im now just feeling tormented. 2 new pieces of gear hooked up to 2 old piecer speakers….

So for now Im left reading reviews from axiom owners describing how great the speakers are (audioholics.com). This has become a sadistic behavior that I need to stop.

BigJohn, sometimes you only have two choices: Laugh or Cry. Laughing so we don't cry! If I were him I'd wonder what puppy I kicked in which past life to cause karma to do that to me.

OK, waiting is not a problem. You just block and copy the tracking number, go to Fedex or UPS tracking site, and track your order. Every 5 minutes, you track your order. No problem.

Hehe. I'm guessing I was not the only one to do that. I was tempted to learn a little perl scripting just so I could create a script to do that for me every 5 minutes!

Perl is your friend. I wish I used it more often, since I'm really rusty now. I use a perl script at work that I wrote a couple years ago, but when I look at the code now I tell myself, "Damn, you used to be pretty smart."

diego-

man, i had to wait 4wks, and i thought that was bad.. i couldnt imagine 12.. but , you did save some cash, so it will be worth it. and you never know, you might get them a little earlier than that. i was originally told 6wks, but they got here in 4.. lucky me!

BTW- that is some great equip you got to push your axioms. the denons get nothing but the highest of praises around here, and i think you will be very pleased once you get your axioms up and running.

remember, patience is a virtue! [easier said than done]

Bigjohn,

I would be thrilled with a 2/3 wait time. Ive been waiting for 5-6 weeks now and its been a test of my sanity (Im not sure Im passing). I cant wait to get them, hook them up, and move on to other threads about configuration and upgrades.

i will chime in with my wait post.....

ordered this morning:
M60/QS8/VP150 from here
SVS pci 20-39 from SVS

ordered yesterday:
Denon 2803 from ecost

ordering tomorrow:
mits 65413 from hhgregg

weeeeeee

you gotta realize, I have spent the last 7 years watching a 36" tv with an (at the time) $650 all in one ht that included receiver/5speakers/subwoofer. I am hoping that I notice a difference.........

i would say you will notice a HUGE difference..

like day is different from night..

salt is different from sugar..

freezing is different from boiling..

box system is different from M60's/QS8's/VP150/SVS 20-39/Denon 2803/Mitsubushi big screen..

its all relative
