Hi

First time buyer..first time poster. Just curious is anyone here has bought the slightly blemished speakers from the factory outlet and were you ok with the amount of damaged..however slight it is

thanks

From the poll I took many years ago, the majority of us have purchased all, or some of our speakers via the outlet. 90+% of the time you will never be able to locate a nick or blemish, even with a magnifying glass. If you do, it will be so minor noone will be able to notice but you.

Axiom's quality control is very top notch, so even the microscopic blemish gets sent though the outlet.

These are brand new speakers and carry the same warranty as A stock.

thank you sirquack..quick response..and good to know..it will leave me money for beer:)

heck yes eh!

I purchased a pair of M3s and a vp100 from the outlet and the only thing I could find was a very small nick in the bottom, back corner of one of the M3s. Very impressive indeed.

So I say, go ahead and buy that extra case.

I bought m80's ep500 vp150 and QS8's from factory outlet.

The only blemish I ever found was a scratch on the back of my ep500, an inch or so under the amp plate. The scratch had been colored in with black paint of some sort so it wasn't really noticeable... but even it was- how many times are you going to look at the back of your sub?

I bought pairs of M3s and M2s, and an EP350 with only a small scratch on one side of an M3. Didn't notice anything on the others. No qualms about purchasing from the FO at all.

just so I dont sound dumb- that should read "even if it was"

Too late! We already know the truth!

I purchased my EP 500 from the F.O. I could not find any blemishes.

I'll just chime in to say I picked up a full Epic 60/500 HT in black from the factory outlet. I actually drove to Dwight to pick them up! I have not found a blemish on any of the speakers yet. Even if they were blemished, the sound is amazing. My advice, don't let it be a concern, you won't regret it.

thank you all for your experiences..factory outlet it is!
