First off I would like to take this time to wish everyone a very safe and happy holiday and best wishes in'07.
With year end in sight it means something very special to me . . . year end bonus. Now the question is how do I allocate this windfall? I have been holding my breath waiting to hear more about new releases from Axiom. Does anyone have any thoughts on what Ian may have in store for '07? In particular I am searching for new electronics but would be willing to consider other options.
Again, best wishes to all

Axiom should be releasing their new amp in 2007, you may have already seen in it an older newsletter.

Saw the new amp in the newsletter. . . probably need to save a bit more for that beast. I was in hopes that there may be some other offerings as well

$3500 -$4000 retail. That's out of my range, :-(. Hope it's cheaper. I got that price from some misc article. Edit: http://www.audioholics.com/news/editorials/AxiomAudio2.php

Expensive is relative... it's a type-D digital amp with some very impressive WPC specs.
The kind of amp that a spider would weave "Some Amp" into her web about.

Yeah, but that pig wasn't really all that special.

This amp definitely looks like it will be something special. Definitely a purchase to consider if you have the cash.

How do you physically connect up amps? Are they connected in conjunction with a reciever?

Yes, either a receiver or a pre-pro.

Thanks for the sound advice, great minds think alike as the IRA is fully funded  and the remainder is what's burning the hole. Christmas shopping was completed in it's entirety the first week of November. Oh BTW, my wife takes the credit there. She is so organized it's amazing!! It's still burning a hole . . . ouch I can feel the heat. This is sort of a present to myself but one my family will benefit from as well. My electronics were mid-stream at best when I purchased them a few years back and they need to be refreshed. I am set with speakers (M22, VP100, QS8's). Maybe the new Oppo is the way to go for a portion of the funds.
