Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Yipeeeeeeee

If you can't get Axiom to ship early ask them to delay the shipment a few days. If the speakers are sitting around at home while you are away they are going to drive you nuts.

More fuel for the fire of anxiousness...

I got home from work and checked my email, and WOW, I had an email from Axiom about my order...

I am thinking "Yippy! Early shipment!!!!"

....then I read the email and my memory kicked in...

"Here is the confirmation of your order for a full metal bracket..."

Crap, I forgot I ordered that last night!

No golden email for me yet.

Well, as luck would have it I got my Axioms on Thursday and that evening I got an emergency call... I was on a plane by the morning and away until late Sunday. What luck! I think nickbuol must've jinxed me with his talk about being out of town....LOL

I've spent some time with my Axioms Monday evening and hopefully tonight and I've got to say so far I'm a VERY happy camper. They look awesome and sound even better! All the praise these speakers get is VERY much deserved and they definitely live up to the good things people say about them!

And man do I love looking at those M60's, very cool

At some point I'll try to post some pics of my setup with my impressions, but for now I'm just going to listen and listen and listen....

Thanks for everyones input in getting me to this point!
Cheers, Jag

PS: How do you deal with the separation anxiety...?

That's great!!! Must have been a REALLY LONG trip. Please do post your impressions and the pics. Always exciting to hear and see.

Thanks Ray! Its all very exciting and a little overwhelming. There's just so much more going on in the music now its hard to take it all in at once... I haven't as yet given a listen to those 703's that you often compare the M60's too, but I have a "connection" with a retailer and may beable to do a little comparison as well, which would be neat.

I had another thought. When you tear yourself away from the boys for a couple of minutes to share your impressiosn, let us know what you think of the Denon 2105. It's relatively new and I have only seen sproadic, but positive, comments about it.

OK, will do.

I can say now though that I did have the 2105, 2805, and 3805 in my house for a few days with my older speakers and I can say I didn't hear any differences sonically. I finally decided on the 2105 simply because I didn't feel I'd use any of the advanced features offered on the other units and the 2105 was cheaper. In fact having had the 2105 for a month now I think I would have been just as well served with the 1905, the auto setup feature is handy but not entirely accurate or necessary to me. But then again I'm very much a minimalist...

Too cool, Michael! I'd a chimed in earlier, but I was watching Matt Damon being chased all over Europe in the Bourne Supremacy. Looking forward to your thoughts when you get everything calibrated with the EP500. Have fun.

How was the Bourne Supremacy?? I meant to rent or buy that today, but time slipped away from me.

I talked to Axiom again last night to see if mine are coming any sooner, but no. They are still shipping on Friday of this week, and should be here next Tuesday or Wednesday (when I am gone)...

The outlet said that the longest item I was going to wait for (outside of the QS8's) would be 6 weeks. They said that I wouldn't be delayed any longer than that even though the QS8's had a 12 week wait. In other words, I would only wait the 6 weeks. Now, I am counting the days, and it in fact will have been exactly an 8 week wait... Bummer....
