Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater I give up.

Alright, you guys win. I can't take the mental torture of your incessant praise and enjoyment of these dang speakers. So, I ordered a complete set of Axioms today. My wife, should she ever find one of y'all, will shoot you on the spot. I have M60s, a VP150, and a pair of QS8s arriving on my doorstep Wednesday.

Of course, I had to endure a weekend of purse and shoe shopping at outlet malls in Destin, Florida, to pull this off. They better sound stinkin' good.

All joking aside, the character of the folks on this board had a lot to due with my decision. All you nice folks can't be wrong.--Andy

Welcome to the fold! I think you'll be very, very pleased with you decision.

Please let us know what you think when they arrive!

Great system choice Ellis! Let us know how you enjoy them. What's the rest of your system like?

Andy - you wil be thrilled! Welcome to the mayhem. Please let us know what your other equipment is, give us your impressions and absolutely show some pics.

Thanks for the warm welcome. Until Wednesday, I have Klipsch ref 3 series around, with a VTF-2 complementing. Source is a Denon 2200 running through a Denon 3802. TV is a Mits 55413 with Hughes E86 (just waiting for HDTivo $ to drop a bit).

I am most excited about the Qs8s, as I have never been pleased with the Klipsch surrounds. I will get pics posted as soon as I have the set-up rolling.

By the way, I am jamming to the Alice In Chains Greatest Hits SACD right now and am really liking the mix. Can't wait to her it on the Axioms.--Andy

Welcome Andy!

You've got the same setup coming that I have!

I see you've already been asked to post photos. You'll be hit up soon to buy an MX-700 remote. It's like an initiation thing around here!

Man, I don't have to worry about your wife... Ray is on his way here right now to kick my butt!

Runnin' for cover.....

Welcome Andy! We understand what a leap of faith it is to order a bunch of speakers, sound unheard (sight unseen?). Most of us have made the same exact leap. It is my sincere hope, and firm belief, that you will NOT be disappointed.

One of the things we have talked about here on the forum, is setting yourself up for disappointment. These speakers will not make you more handsome, will not make your teeth sparkling white, will not make you wittier or more intelligent. They are not perfect. What they are is a heck of a bang for the buck, and some darn fine speakers. Are there better speakers out there? Yup! Are you going to be disappointed? Not on your tintype.

Hi Andy...cool...my brothers name is Andy.....
Hope you enjoyed the shoe shopping...whatever it takes to keep the wife happy is worth it, especially when it comes to acquiring new stereo/home theatre equipment.

Thanks for the caution Ajax. I am quite sure the speakers will be as I imagine. Don't tell the other posters, but I really put a lot more research into this purchase than reading their posts. Of course, the friendliness of this board is unrivaled.

I spent my undergrad years installing and funding car audio, which is even more "hype fueled" than home audio/video. Regardless of my speaker selection, I am already handsome, have sparkling white teeth, and am as witty and intelligent as they come. Just kidding, of course...Andy
