More crazy home systems - Axiom Message Boards

Axiom Home Page

There was a thread some time back where we linked a whole bunch of odd home systems. I can't seem to locate it now, but i came across this system today which is rather interesting.

Yeah Chess, it looks like the midrange of trombones would be reproduced with great realism.

At least those speakers will be safe during hunting season.

Here's a site that has some very nice as well as some very odd audio gear ... Exotic Audio

I love the Mark Levinson Toaster and the Krell Hair Dryer!!!!

Saw this one on the first page:

GRYPHON CALLISTO INTEGRATED AMP.Rear and topless. Just the way I like it!

I like the speaker look... I bet they sound great!

Oh.. and the rug looks cool too.... lol.

I bet they glow in the dark...

Actually horn loaded speakers have great midrange which present a very live presentation.

The box you see on my Concerti is like the orange square horn but surrounded with a conventional square speaker enclosure.

That speaker begs to be caressed.

You'd leave fingerprints all over her, you Philistine!

You guys been hanging out with bigjohn too much lately.

Actually my wife said that prior to any speaker entering the living room of our new place it has to go through her inspection. She did not like the standard glossy black it normally comes with so she said in order for me to get that speaker into our living room she had to pick the color to match the other red accessories she had at home. She went to the paint store and picked this color "Raspberry Red" Benjamin Moore. She had the aritisan specifically paint the speaker enclosure this color with upteenth layers of gloss.

This time, PLASMA speakers!!

Man, I think I've finally found a use for all of my unused helium tanks. Thanks Chess!

Do those speakers make everything sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks?

Saturn
Those Concerti look gorgeous. Also love the dark color of those hardwood floors.

Throw time alignment out the window with those "trombones"

Saturn, is your website down?

Works for me.

I'd love to hear how this system sounds. The room looks more live than mine and I didn't think that would be possible

Must be something between here and there, can't ping the website either as the request times out, also can't see host.

Also forgot to ask. Nice port blocker on the sub. So do you recommend Gold Toe? Should it be cotton or cotton/rayon blend for better sound "expansion"? Or perhaps silk or merino wool to "smooth" out the sound? Ha!

You mean to tell me that that finish is ordinary hi-gloss latex paint??!!

WOW!
