HHP, welcome. See the listings at the beginning of the audition thread above. Two are in Connecticut, and the usual procedure is to try to make direct contact by PM, email or asking Axiom for assistance.

Hi JohnK'

HHP has contacted me but I could not provide him with an available registered audition club memeber in Connecticut. I suggested that he should ask for an audition on the Axiom forums. I hope that a member of the Forums will be able to offer him an audition. Thanks for your suggestion to contact Axiom.

Auditioning right now with Axiom on v3 and most of us on v2 or older makes it somewhat pointless. I think right now a would be buyer needs to make the leap and listen for themselves in their own house, which is the best way anyway.

I don't really think so. At least they'll get an idea of the Axiom sound. It's hardly changed THAT much!

Not according to the reviews by Alan and Gene etc., they make it sound like there is a big difference.

I’m with you Jay. Based on the reviews I’d be hard pressed to tell someone that my speakers sound like the new ones. OTOH when comparing my new M2v3 to my M22v2 I couldn’t tell them apart when crossed over to the sub at 80Hz. Now I only listened for about 30 minutes so there could be some more subtle differences but nothing stood out to me. Granted the M2v3 may not reflect all the changes made to the M80v3 like crossover tweaks. So my experience my not carry over to the M80s.

I am very jealous of all those going to the anniversary party as they will get to hear all the new speakers and find out first hand.

Hi - I am interested in audition for M80s in Orange County, California? I did not see any list on page 1 that has M80.
Secondary, would like to audition VP150 and QS8, if available. Mainly it is M80s.

Thanks,
shong

Any M60's in that area, that would give you a close idea of how great the M80's and M60's sound.

Welcome to the forum. It is a pity I can't help you out on this matter since I live in Japan. You will find someone to help you out for sure.
