Yeah!
Dwight Ontario must have the highest per capita ratio of Axioms-to-households in all of of North America.
But then again, when you consider how great these speakers are, I'll bet they just don't get that many returns!

Well folks, after considering all the comments and my personal preferences, I opted for the M80s from the "A" store. I placed my order earlier this morning.

By the way, I was watching NASCAR on FOX last night, and the VP-150 really sounded good when they cranked it up.

Still thinking about what to do about the subwoofer. Thus far, I'm leaning toward a SVS. My subwoofer died a couple of weeks ago and I'm using my son's "spare." After I get the M80s and listen to them with his subwoofer for a while, I'll make a decision. At least, that is the current plan.

Thanks for all of the comments.

Congrats on the 80s, and I doubt you will have any regrets on paying the additional cost over B stock once you have the 80s up and running. Waiting only a few days is far better than waiting weeks.

I ordered the black oak ones. Black seems to go with most everything and we will, most probably, be moving to a lake house in a couple of years. I thought seriously about one of the other colors, but I asked the wife what color I should get (showed her the options) when I bought the VP-150. She wanted it in black. So, black it is.

I don't have a shipping date just yet. I'll probably get that tomorrow during business hours.

What's that old saying... you can have it in any color as long as its black. The speakers usually take two business days to your door. You can probably expect them tuesday, maybe wednesday. You got that digital camera ready for pics right? Looking forward to hearing more.

Congratualations!

I just couldn't see spending that much on a pair of speakers and not getting the "A" series. I thought about it long and hard. Waiting a few weeks wasn't the issue.

But, that's just me.

Now, watch, I'll get them installed and my grandson will knock into them with something.

Oh well!!!!

I received email today that my M80s were shipped. I suspect that I should have them by Thursday or Friday.
