Since many people like to hear speakers before making a purchase, can we make a section on the forum so that potential Axiom owners can audition speakers from owners local to them? This would be especially useful to U.S. customers since they aren't available at retail stores in the U.S. That would help both axiom and potential customers from wasting money on shipping if by chance they don't like the sound and want to return a purchase.
I'm in Baltimore, MD, and just got my M22s. If anyone wants to check them out, drop me an email.
I know you can find a person's location in their member info but many people don't fill this section in.

Glad to see people jumping on. We're getting a lot of "What should I buy?" questions and the best way, especially for us without local showrooms with Axioms would be to audition them in a closer to real world environment.
Keep 'em coming.

cool idea, I'm sure many people would be interested, especially since I'm in Hyderabad, India and I'm real sure that nobody else has the Axioms in this big country!! All are most welcome to contact me.

I never get political, but just an aside to all the Americans here - not all of us Canadians agree with our government's position on the war. Regardless of our feelings on the reasons why you are there, you have always been our friends - and you don't bail on friends. Sorry.

And if your "friend' were to hold up a bank because they felt the bank ripped them off would you back them up with that as well?
People have different morals, friends or not.
There is a limit to one's 'backing' up a friend. If there is a difference in opinion, a real 'friend' would have to respect that choice. Respecting that choice is the pinnacle of democracy. The alternative is not accepting one's choice and enforcing opinion onto others.

Do we really need to go down this road?
Look, lively discussion is one thing, but a "post your hometown" thread in a speaker manufacturer's online forum is hardly the place to debate the morality of war in Iraq. As proud as Canadians are of their righteous opposition to the invasion of Iraq, there is a sizeable portion of the American public also very much opposed to war...in fact, that segment of the American public outnumbers the entire population of Canada. Conversely, spend some time in a military city, and you will discover just how much support there is for the war among Canadians, notwithstanding the claims of business leaders and Steven Harper (which could be fairly interpreted as political grandstanding).
I am willing to wager that a person's opinion on the war will in no way reflect whether they prefer the accuracy of the M22 or the easy-going sound of the M3. For the sake of what a discussion on morality and war can degenerate into, let's please just drop the subject before it turns into insults.

Sorry Guys, didn't mean to start all this. In retrospect, you are right - this is not the place. Like I said, I NEVER get political. Shouldn't have started this time.
OK, back to speakers - I love my M80's!

Too bad my Mastercard is maxed out to buy that VP150.

Where did the "Wall of Fame" go? I was there looking at pictures of various systems a few days ago - now I can't find it.

Seriously, I think it is a fabulous idea to create an official "AudioEnvy" type of section within the Axiom web site. Should be technically pretty easy...
What do you think, Amie? I know you are listening.

And how about a forum for the best CD's/DVD's when showing off your system?
I will ususally pull out:
Simple - Collective Soul
Fast Car - Tracy Chapman
Bang a Gong - The Power Station
Anything off The Commitments Soundtrack
Hail Caesar - AC/DC
And tons more I'll post later
I love any type of music that has been WELL recorded and engineered.
