My new V3s

I decided to upgrade my M80 V2s and also retire the VP150 for the VP180

I wonder, does Axiom have some kind of upgrade/exchange policy? I'm looking at upgrading too, especially the vp180 from the 150... - Majik Epic 80 system Ep 800 Denon 3808 Optoma HD20 PS3 vp180 extra QS8s (to come soon)

I have the M80 V2's in my PC room room (actually listening to them right now) so see the comparison daily. Hands down V3s have sleeker look and the sound....well... <-that says it all!

Oh, I also sure wished they came with the magnetic latches for the grills. They didn't. Maybe next time. In any case, I like the black-eyed-peas look of the old drivers.

The one case where I prefer the single colour is when they are smooth concave drivers w/o a dust cap. Those do look sort of cool but I still think overall I prefer the contrast. 3M80 2M22 6QS8 2M2 1EP500 Sony BDP-S590 Panny-7000 Onkyo-3007 Carada-134 Xbox Buttkicker AS-EQ1

I really like that look too. no dust caps Of course, the look of a polished aluminum or copper phase plug looks cool too. Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.

It used to be my preferred choice as well until I saw the dust cap in the same material and colour as the cone itself. The dominating "copper" dust cap is very attractive at first but it rapidly looses its charm. Last edited by Jc; 10/03/10 03:23 PM.
