Some are getting on in years and are considering pricey rejuvenation surgery.

I keep checking the status of the SVS and it just keeps saying in transit, now I remember how it felt to get my Axioms.

I just realized that the announcement for the 350V3 was made in mid-October. Maybe there are no graphs or specs because Axiom didn't have a chance to put it up on the pole yet.

I still like my conspiracy theory better though. If everyone loves the 350, then Axiom may decide to degrade its performance to prevent cannibalization of the 500 & 600. They can do that you know since the full specs aren't published.

Come to think of it, we better all buy 350s now before Axiom decides to degrade them. It's a good thing I came back to look out for all of your best interests \:D .

Yep, my guess is that they have not done any outside testing. It has to be calm, in additon to warmer out. \:\)

Well, they had to have done some testing on pre-release product to complete the engineering/design. Since they have an on site sound chamber-thingy, I expect they would have done some testing there as well.

I will ask tomor... er, later today when I am there.

Gotta get some sleep.

Can't test below 80Hz in the chamber-thingy. That's what the pole is for.

Last summer (or this fall?) there was mention of a new chamber at Axiom designed for subs only. I don't where they are with that project (if it's even started!).

The subwoofers are tested outside up on the tower when nice weather is calm. This is the best scenario to achieve true readings, and eliminate room characteristics created by the long wavelengths.
