I was just browsing through this weekend's LA Times "Home Design Issue". (A special supplement this weekend.) When I got to their recommended systems, they suggested a "Super Maggie system" ($25,935) for those with no budget constraints, and the AXIOM EPIC 80 ($2,413) system for "middle of the road" systems!
quoting...
"In it's ability to fill large rooms with very loud, distortion-free sound, the Axiom system compares favorably with the highly regarded and much more expensive British-made B&W 700 series. The powered 200-watt subwoofer with aluminum driver delivers tummy-rumbling, subterranean bass."
Their pick for "Down to Earth", was the Mirage NANOSAT system ($800).
Way to go Axiom!

Am I the only one surprised that the LA Times recommended the Axioms?

Actually spiff i'm having deja vu here.
I looked through something not a couple of months ago that was a list of the top 50 best electronics of the year (or something to that effect).
Within it i found several HT packages and if i recall correctly, they had one of the axiom systems listed at #8 or 12 on the list. There were 2 other HT packages ahed of Axiom and the remaining electronics were other funky gadgets.
I think i sent the link to Amie, but quite some time ago.
In any event, the article was really unexpected and i was equally surprised to find an Axiom HT system in its roll of items. The Segway i could understand, but a couple of HT systems as best electronics of the year?
Well what the heck then. Their new subs may make headlines again this year. Go Axiom!

In reply to:
Craig, I'm surprised.
OH NOW THAT'S FUNNY.
Just look at that incredible shocked look on JohnK's face.
I don't think i've even seen him so taken aback before.
Just amazing.

Gawd I hate the LA Times. Turn down free copies at the store all the time. Worst paper in the world - even if they do know good sound.
