Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners I got a new job, so which sub do I buy????

Spiff
That thread gave me a headache.
If you havent read it. It goes something like this.....WHA wah wha wah..wah wha wah wha wa wa wa wa.

The biggest offender on that thread was actually a SVS retailer. (www.plasmadocs.com) I visited their site, and was sad to see Axiom on there. Clicking on their Axiom link I got...

Our relationship is currently one of referral and mutual packaging. Please contact us for details on the Axiom line. Click on the Axiom banner on our website for the entire line...

The way Dr. Anthony Rosalia conducted himself on that forum reflects very poorly on Axiom, or any company that would deal with him. (IMHO)

If I didn't know what a terrific company Axiom was, seeing them linked with plasmadocs.com would certainly leave me with a bad first impression.

I am in total agreement. Car salesmen are not even that bad.....the actually respect competitive products.

If you read the thread, you can see I posted in there about some subwoofer history.

When I was looking to buy a new sub I did contact SVS about buying one of their subs.I was also reading the mentioned thread,it was the attitude of the SVS people from the thread that helped me make my up my mind.I went with HSU again.

I read the thread this morning, and was disgusted by Rosalia's posting. His first post was blatant commercialism, and his second was insulting to Dr. HSU. He must be new to forum posting, because he sure hasn't learned how to behave.

However, I don't think you should indict SVS for his behavior, any more than one should indict HSU for the behavior of the HSU fanboys, who can be just as insulting and unreasonable as Rosalia (Disclaimer: I do NOT categorize Spiff and Curtis as fanboys. They are HSU fans, and that's quite a different animal.)

I notice that Plasmadocs.com is also carrying Ascend speakers, and not only that, they're paired in a package with.....................yup, an SVS sub.. Now THAT'S weird.

Jack, I haven't read through the thread since it was "active", so maybe it has been edited, but did you see the at least one degrading remark from TV in regards to "competitors"?

While I hold most doctors in high regard just for the amount of education they have to endure, that Dr. Rosalia(a pediatrician) gets no respect from me...basicly because he thinks he deserves it. Also, I didn't think pediatricians knew more about audio than the next person.

There are good fanboys, and there are bad fanboys......

Jack,

While I do agree there are die hard fanboys in both camps it seems to me one camp spits out quite a bit more venom than the other.I don't agree with either side when putting down another person for what brand they prefer.

I am NOT talking about anyone here on THIS forum.Here it is nice that everyone respects each other for what ever brand of speakers or subs they like.

Oh you'll get no argument from me about TV's defensive and insulting posting. I'm more puzzled by him than I am by Rosalia. All he has to do is shut up and let his product do the talking.

My point is that I would not belittle a product based on the idiotic behavior of someone who runs the company or some overzealous fanboys. If we're going to do that, we're going to have to belittle EVERY company, because every company has it's idiotic supporters, be they owners or not. (Axiom is the exception, of course )

We agree on fanboys. We just use different terminology. To me, there are no "good" fanboys. The term "fanboy" is inherently negative. I refer to a good "fanboy" as a "fan."

in total agreement with you Jack.

by the way....this is the ONLY forum that has persuaded me to by a product in less than 3 days!

Oh you're such a pushover, Curtis. Are you liking that MX-700? I've actually been thinking of buying a second one while they're still available, and stashing it away in case anything goes wrong with my current one. The new "consumer" models don't attract me, and the new "pro" models are expensive. Needless to say, I love my MX-700
