I was talking to a guy at a local retail store lately when looking at receivers. He asked what speakers I was going to use becuase he wanted to sell me Klipsch. I told him my Axioms where on the way...he said oh yeah Axiom, I've heard of them (NOT) anyway he tried to tell me to be careful as all the electronics/drivers within the Axioms are imported from Malaysia. I'm just curious where the drivers and such are mfg?

as discussed on some prior threads, i believe the woofers are mfg in china. all design, build, and construction is done at the factory in canada..

If his argument was that they're therefore crap, well, he's wrong. Just look at these boards! And if there is a problem, Axiom's great at taking care of it (which reminds me....)
If he's objecting to underpaid labor outsourcing, well, then, that's a different matter.

I totally agree, that is why I based my purchases on the feeback from many of you.... That is the same way I did it when looking for a front projector, I studied thousands of reviews and posted and PM'd many people on AVS, my Sanyo PLV-Z2 WXGA projector rocks....the other night I watched Open Range with Kevin Costner and Rober Duvall on about a 120" diag. 16x9, pretty awesome...HD with my OTA HD Receiver is freaking unbelievable.
I took what the Best Buy guy said with a grain of salt, he looked old enough to be my baby brother and I think it was like his 2nd week on the job. Oh well, you have to start somewhere...at least he had a job....

In reply to:
the other night I watched Open Range
that movie sounds great with the axiom system. be prepared to watch it again once your system gets in. the opening storm/rain sequence is incredible.. you will think it is raining in your living room.. then, the gun battle at the end...... you will be ducking for cover.. great sequence that really shows off the ability of the QS8's..

I'm grinning from ear to ear thinking how this thing is going to sound. I'll have to experiment with the differant surround modes, this ProLogic IIx has got me interested, I've heard the bullets sound like they are going right through in 7.1.....

He should have known better - trying to sell Klipsch over Axiom? Oh wait, I just remembered. You were at Best Buy. Never mind.

siquack,
I wouldn't worry about something being mfg'd in Asia.
Your Denon, Toshiba and Sanyo are. Last I checked, Denon and Toshiba make great receivers and TV's, respectively.

Just a punk kid that can't find his a$$ from a hole in the ground. Most Best Buy employees seem to be like that. He also probably has a modified Honda civic with parts made in Taiwan or China. Then again who knows?

..........and to think the first Best Buy in our little city is under construction about 8 blocks from me. I'm not sure I will ever get to see the inside! I have no desire to go unless they do a great grand opening sale.........then I may have to check out a new TV! lol
