I recently order from the factory outlet, and my speakers are suppose to arrive middle of next week. I have a couple question.
First I check my tracking number and it says my package is only 12 lbs! I order Pair of QS8, pair FMSQS stands, and VP100 center. I know it should weigh more than 12 lbs, right?

Oh yea about the fronts, I already have pair of M3ti that I bought a little over a year ago. I have a average room 17x8 feet. I was wondering if I would benefit if I upgraded to M22's. Or do you think my M3ti would be good for that room size.

I'm eagerly waiting to hook up my 5.1 system. I'm hooking all this to a Marantz sr7001 receiver. I'm really looking foward to this, its been so long that I have stereo sound... time to upgrade to 5.1 surround

Thanks in advance :).

Don't worry, Fedex usually only issues a tracking number for 1 item, in this case it sounds like one FMSQS stand, which weighs 12 lbs, is the index item for tracking the entire shipment. Each item generally is shipped in its own box so you will be looking for 5 boxes. Sometimes all of the boxes will not arrive at the same time but if that happens call Axiom to followup, anyway the straggler(s) will normally appear the following day.

One recent order I made was four qs8s and a vp150, fedex stated that the entire shipment weighed 1.0 lb (maybe this was the shipping instructions?) but everything arrived on time in perfect condition.

SatKartr, thanks for clearing that up for me. I almost thought that I'm not going to get everything I ordered.

I can't wait to get the speakers. Thankyou!

No problem, we all know how nerve wracking the wait can get.

Waiting is long... (isn't it by definition?)
I never did a direct compare between M3 and M22 (to address your other question!), but from what I gathered here, if you can get a good exchange using Axiom's trade-up program and are using a decent sub, it might be worth it to move to M22.
Back waiting now... I am still waiting for my future M90 (or M100) to be designed, let alone be delivered at my doorstep!

PS: I didn't do a compare between M3 and M22, but I have heard M3s in my appartment next to my M80s.

My dad wants Axiom to come out with a new top-of-the-line floorstander so he can get my M80s.

Your dad's got it made in the shade with that hand-me-down program of yours, doesn't he, I guess anyone with as much patience as he appears to have deserves to reap the rewards.

Ha ha, I suppose. Maybe I'll be a jerk and give one M80 to him and the other to someone else, just to keep things interesting.

Ooh, now that would be mean. What do you think he'd do?

I really don't know. He'd have to laugh, though, right?
