Hello. Minor question but curious. My VP100-v2 center channel speaker cabinet and grille have allowences for 6 fasteners, but only uses 4. Also the the grill only has the corner fastener snaps but empty spots for them in the middle.
Is something missing here or is this normal?
Thanks.

My pics . . .

my vp100 has just the four like in Axiom's pic but it is ~5 years old.

Likewise.

Hi 80's man,

That is the oddest picture. Are you sure you didn't do a little Photoshopping? Plus, the extra holes are assymmetrical. Weird. Maybe it was built after a party at the plant! (just kidding. .)

I've never seen a VP100 that looks like that. Did you get it from the Factory Outlet?

I'll send this on to a couple of guys at the plant and see if they can figure it out.

Regards,
Alan

Hmmm... the plot thickens.

I love the theory that it happened after a party at the plant. (even though it was a joke, it gave me a good laugh thinking about what kind of mischief could happen in such a situation)

Looks like someone thought they were doing a shorter VP150 (which has 8 holes) and ran out of space...

That's what it looks like to me too. If it was a FO speaker, that'd make sense. Either that or it slipped through quality control on the way out!

Someone had a little to much Elsinore beer.

Regarding party in plant . . . where can I send my resume!
I absolutly LOVE my Axioms. That's probably why I noticed. I keep staring at the darn things, admiring their appearance and audio qualities.
And like I mentioned earlier, it's only a curiosity. It, in no way, has any effect on any function of the speaker.
Here are the two pics enlarged . . .

Hi 80's man,

My face is red. Apologies for suggesting that you Photoshopped the image. Axiom changed its production on the grille attachments, so I'm about to get an update as to when that occurred from Cass (Cassandra) at the factory who will look it up on her computer.

Can we all stand the suspense?

Alan

No apologies necessary.
I'll settle for a pair of EP800's!

I was about to blame termites. Termites who cover their tracks with hole grommets.

Gromit, we have a problem.

Hi all,

This just in: We changed the grille mounting from 4-pin to off-center 6-pin on our VP100 center channels on June 08/2006.

Regards,

Alan

So he has a vp100 with 6 holes and a vp100 grill with only 4 post thingies?

Oooooh! a custom job.

When, oh when, will Axiom make the move to magnet grilles on ALL their speakers?

Nevar!

Collector's Edition! It's rarity makes it invaluable.

Beware of the copycat fakes that are bound to pop up everywhere.

Your right!!!! Never mind my comment about the 2 EP800's. I'll keep this great little center channel speaker.

This should be added to the list of anniversaries in the forum's calendar!

Seconded!
