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

heh, nice comparisons!

oh and quick update, Amie just emailed me saying they have shipped! woot What I did not mention in the previous post is that all this new stuff is going in the new great room of the new house we had built and are moving into on Wednesday! I am a happy happy (broke) man!

Now if only I could convince her to let me buy something to post a pic of in that thread in the other forum here about "other toys" or whatever the thread was called.......

I thought it was pretty funny when my reciever broke. A little sadistic, but I must admit its pretty funny.

proggy - you are having more fun/anticipation than any one man deserves! You are gonna absolutely LOVE the system when you get it all hooked up. I'd like to hear about the 20-39 when you get a chance to play with it. A warning - things WILL rattle and move.

Hawk - I was where john was when I saw your post. Laugh? Cry? Here's the upside - you get to buy a big honkin' new receiver!!! It's a silver lining thing. BTW - check ecost and see what they have for Denon receivers.

yeah ray, but I must say my fun/anticipation hit a damper today when I saw that all of my air conditioning ductwork in the basement has condensation droplets along the full length of the pipes! That and that several of the boards are showing mold/mildew, grrrrrrrr

but my speakers did leave the destination point several hours ago =)

If I broke into the UPS center to retrieve my receiver that shows as arriving here this evening, instead of waiting for the Monday delivery, would that be considered stealing?

I think UPS/FedEx should install GPS trackers on all their shipments. Clicking every 5 minutes to see that a shipment is still in the "departed Nashville, Tn" stage is simply not satisfying! Imagine clicking it 5 minutes later to see that it went from milemarker 125 to milemarker 131 on I70!

wow! You Canadians really know how to ship a package! My axioms arrived at lunch today =) Ordered my SVS subwoofer at the same time Friday and I have not received a "shipped" email from them yet......receiver came today too. So now I just need my house on Wednesday, not gonna open these bad boys until then because my living room is nothing but boxes now anyway! Well, maybe just one of them to take a peak =D

its gonna kill you not to look in those boxes, but you have the best plan.. wait til you are in the new place and have ALL equip, then bust open the boxes.

i left my sub in the box for almost 3 months, and the receiver for 1 month, until my speakers finally came.. talk about torture.. at least you only got a few days.

well i tried, I REALLY tried! But I busted out one of the M60's. I thought my face was gonna split as I pulled the speaker out of the box, grinning from ear to ear. =D I have never owned a "real" speaker before and this seems like a good one to start! Unfortunately, my wife came home before I could get it back in the box. She was less than thrilled at the size, though I did show her a few pics of them in other HT setups and already told her about the 39" cylinder SVS on the way. I just have to break her in a little more

Oh, and the SVS shipped out today. It is due in tomorrow as they started out in Ohio which is where I live.

Oh, proggy, you're going to find the giant black trash can of an SVS sub is a real wife pleaser! Sleeping on the porch in the summer time isn't so bad.

My Denon AVR-3805 has been in it's box 2 full days now. Yes I took it out to look at it... but it hasn't been plugged in or anything... my speakers are supposed to ship on Thursday apparently, and I got a email yeseterday with SEVEN tracking numbers in it (cables from axiom )...

oh boy oh boy oh boy

"Axiom Order Shipped" Now that's an email subject that will put a smile on your face! Just got the email from Amie today. Ordered M60's,vp150 and qs8's in natural maple on 6/4 and was told it could be 6 weeks. A nice surprise indeed. Great timing, we're closing on a new house this Friday !
