Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater factory outlet

what has been your experience going through the factory outlet products.....are they truely the same audio quality.....and do they truely have little blemishes....or are some of the really bad visually?

The factory outlets products are almost identical to the new products, in fact I couldn't even find a blemish on mine, there would be no difference in audio quality.

good to know

My F.O. M50's look almost pristine. The only issue is some ink smearing on the Axiom sticker on the back (1 out of 2 speakers). The other looks perfect.

Order with confidence.

I bought my M60 fronts, VP150 center, and QS8 surrounds all from the factory outlet, and they look great, and sound the same as any that are not from the "factory outlet". In fact, Axiom won't sell them if they don't sound perfect. They only sell ones with small cosmetic imperfections in them at the factory outlet, but most people are hard pressed to find any flaws even visually.

I's like to point out that the speakers sold from the Factory Outlet are not returned or refurbished speakers. They are speakers that have incurred some small cosmetic imperfection during the manufacturing process.

My factory outlet M60s had the same identical flaw in the vinyl that was so minor, it was two weeks before I noticed them, and then, only because the light from a window was falling on them just right. I had actually looked for flaws for those two weeks, but was unable to find them until the light was just so. No one else ever noticed the flaws.

Chips, not trying to be a jerk here, but you might find the "Search" tool useful, this topic has been discussed often. With all these posts you need your own forum.

As the FO page mentions, the Factory Outlet speakers are identical technically to the regular stock, same warranty, they are not returns or refurbished. They MAY and I say MAY have MINOR blemishes/nicks, that is why they sell them at a discounted price. I have yet to find any problems with my speakers. I would say 60% of people by from the FO, if I recall the old poll I did once. See if I can find it by using the search tool.

yes, I am starting to be more efficient in this forum and am starting to use the search, and find it useful. It just took me a few days to figure that out. Thanks

Yeah right... you would have just kept asking questions if Randy hadn't whacked you upside the head
