I think I have an answer to the "air" question, and have an update:
My 350 sub, (2) QS8s, VP150 and (1)...ummm, that's right, (1) M60 arrived. The other, according to the website, is still in Memphis.
My driver/deliveryman said that sometimes, if a plane is full, they "bump" packages for a later flight. I wouldn't expect anyone to understand what it means to get a complete home theater speaker system minus a "main" speaker, but I would have thought that if they show 6 packages together, they would have "bumped" a "single" package.... it's kinda like bumping grandma traveling with her family instead of the single college student
Anyway, there's a possibility that it might be on a different flight, and at the extreme, still be delivered today, or, slightly more possible, I could pick it up. Still, though, the most likely scenario is getting it Monday.
It kinda sucks, but the other side of the coin is that these speakers look great.... I'm very happy with the ones that were delivered. And, if I REALLY try to make lemonade out of this whole thing, I could make a custom CD with some mono, isolated L & R tracks to compare my current speakers to the new ones. Then when the other M60 comes in Monday, I can compare one that's broken in with one right out of the box!
Don't kid yourself, though, if I have half an opportunity to get the other M60 here, you guys will end up continuing the fight about breaking in speakers, 'cuz I'll be enjoying BOTH of mine!

Well, I called FedEx.... Evidently that package didn't continue it's journey because it was damaged (I assume pretty severely if they didn't even bother continuing to send it).
With Axiom "closed" on Fridays, I guess my best-case scenerio is now Wednesday or Thursday of next week, and that's only if Axiom is willing to send out a new one or happens to have a "B-stock" of the right finish ready-to-go already.
See? I KNEW I needed reassurance!
Maybe I can enjoy everything anyway if I'm willing to put cotton in one ear?

Man, that has got to hurt -- only one main speaker? It is too bad that a great company like Axiom has to rely on a shipping company that would do something like this (even though they most likely did not look at what was in the packages.. if axiom was in charge of things like this I'm sure that they would have made sure that your mains arrived together and a single speaker like the sub or possibly the center would have been bumped back.)
You just have no luck with this order, do you? I feel your pain, man :-)
EDIT: ah, a damaged packege -- now I know that you REALLY have no luck!

Well, you could try to solve the old controversy about using QS speakers as fronts...

Good one Ken . Since he's got some time on his hands, why not?

I actually tried it briefly with QS4s, but it was late at night, so the volume was low. Didn't sound bad to me.
