Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Ok...I'm sold...

ordered 3 QS8's from the factory outlet....you've gotten yourself a client in Rome, Italy...(the first I'm told...)... and I can't wait...(preferred them over Jamo E8SUR - of which I have an outlet down the road...)

hope fedex doesn't s.... up....$78 in shipping...yeouch!.

John.

JohnC,

you're in Italy!
I might take a plane and come and join you. I'm looking to move there in the fall, perhaps. And who knows, I might bring my Axioms with me!

Are there good jobs in IT out there, even for someone without and Italian passport?

Thanks,
Ravi.

p.s. you can email me, if you have the time and patience: crowchild7@yahoo.ca

hmmm...hate to burst your bubble...but if you're in NA..I'd stay put...I work in IT myself and well....if over there it's bad....here...it's worse...no joke.

John:
I just bought the Grand Master System, it hasn't arrived yet, has to cross into Detroit, Michigan. I come to Catania every year and spend some time on the beaches in Siracusa. Italy is nice but like you said the jobs are scarce. I am an Electronic Technician for the United States Postal Service, my job is secure but there is a lot more economic degradation to come.... I will post what I think about the Axioms when they arrive.

sicily is nice...ever been to sardegna?...awesome water..and yes jobs are scarce..and not very well paid either...

I'm tracking my shipment...should be here friday...will have it initially calibrated on tuesday..(waiting for my SPL meter....not RS..they don't sell abroad...finally found a class 1 at $200 all the rest were 1000 and up...!)..and will let you know.

Ciao.

JohnC,
You should've dropped someone a line. We could have picked you up the Rat Shack SPL meter and sent it over.

Thanks..I appreciate your offer...I didn't simply because I felt it wouldn't be correct...quite a hassle for you...but I'll keep it in mind next time...just a matter of organizing onself vis a vis of getting the funds over there....

Cheers...

Just a matter of going to the post office. I have to do that to send stuff stateside too I've sent some stuff (car parts) to people in Europe who had paypal accounts.

The Axiom system arrived this AM and "only" hooked up the M22's. They are pretty darn nice. I am listening to Fourplay and for such small spaekers they really sound good. It will be a couple days before I get the whole system operational but I am sure it will sound really good. I am using the Marantz 7300 OSI Receiver to power them. I will report back when I have the whole system working. I have been all over Italy but not to Sardenga, maybe next trip! I've been there 9 times and love it.

Excellent...mine are coming in this afternoon (bet that's faster than some deliveries stateside... :-) )...I have to pay $165 in duties and sales tax..and FedEx thought (god know's how..) my company was importing them...didn't go down too well with the boss...but all is well now...just waiting for them to arrive...


Ciao
