Dude, if you're going to bitch about the wait time, you should have sucked it up and bought the non factory outlet ones. FYI, I waited 4 weeks for my custom finish M50s. And I don't wanna hear crap about being a fanboy. You don't like it, you can go away.

thomes- i had custom finishes, and the wait was supposed to be 6 weeks, and got them in exactly 4 weeks. i guess i was lucky
bottomline is, you DID get them early. and you cant assume that because 'some' people were lucky enough to get their ordr 1 or 2 weeks early, that doesnt mean that everyone will. it just seems you are blowing this WAY out of proportion. and the "fanboy" comment was just uncalled for. YES, we dig our speakers, and YES, we would like for others to discover this great company.
i sure hope you can get over your mis-guided anger and allow yourself to dig your new speakers also.
EDIT- ken needs a valium!!

Yeah, I probably do, but I don't like being insulted for supporting a company that makes a product I love and in general has excellent customer service.

I didn't think Axiom gave out "anticipated shipping dates" for FO orders... you just get an order acknowledgement and a golden email.
This sounds a bit funny to me.

Actually, Amie DID tell me an expected shipping date (which they beat by a couple of days), so I guess sometimes they do!

You are absolutely right. I apologize, Racer, for participating in the side track (rather unpleasantly). Congratulations! I hope you enjoy the new toys!

In the interest of reclaiming my hijacked thread (albeit at the risk of rubbing more salt into doubtingthomas29's burn injuries), I am happy to report . . . they're here!!
By the time I got home from work, shoveled some dinner down, unpacked all of the boxes, and inspected the beautiful black contents, it was too late for auditioning. But it promises to be a loud morning tomorrow - nobody's gonna get up late for school.
I now know why FO customers hold their speakers in such high regard. I found only VERY SUBTLE cosmetic issues in three out of the seven speakers, and the others are absolutely perfect. All but one defect can only be found if you KNOW that there is something to look for, and the "big one" is a miniscule ding in an inconspicous rear back corner of one of the M2's. One touch of a black marker will make that disappear.
If you have the patience and flexibility to wait, then FO is the way to go.
Look at me, rambling on like a fanboy, and I haven't even listened to them yet!
