Just got my new M60's today. Unfortuanly Purolator bashed one up pretty good. After about 10min of listening the lower woofer on the based up unit started rattling like crazy under heavy bass'ed songs. Amie from Axiom is sending me a new woofer today though so I'm not complaining. Now that I have the 60's I have no idea how I'll hold of for surrounds and a sub (got a center last week)!

congrats on the new arivals.. it sure stinks that one got beat up. thank goodness axiom does such a great job of double boxing, that way there was no cosmetic damage. but, those woofers can only take so much bangin around before somethings eventually going to give.
its great that you got hold of amie, and she is getting a replacement sent out fast. let us know your impressions once you get them fired up and can put some power to them.
and pics, we MUST have pics!!!

Congrats James! Too bad about the damaged goods though, tell us what you think whenever you're able to take a listen. Welcome to the board also.

Well I can run them at low volumes with regular music (non Hip-hop / tecno) so the good stuff is playing! Pics I can do! Had them ready before the request.

JM, too bad about the rough handling, but you'll really have an enjoyable setup once everything is together. One point from your picture, although it's hard to tell; if you have the VP100 slightly recessed on the TV bring it a little forward so that it clears the front of the TV by a fraction of an inch and diffraction from the TV is minimized.
-----------------------------------
Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Ya I know the VP100 is set back to far. Basically when I watch a movie or something worth surround I pull the center up to the edge. I find it ugly like that for normal use and the wife hates it up on the edge so we push it back when running 2ch.
