Hey guys. I'm back..been a while. I'm nearly ready to get some new speakers, replacing my B&W 601's. I had a mental war going on between axioms and rockets and had pretty much settled on the rockets. I got some finish samples from axiom, and while they were nice, the onix stuff, I felt, was a little more polished. But then I found out about these custom finishes for $95 more per pair....now, I think I've swung back over to Axiom. Well, I want floorstanding and when you add tax to even their cheapest speaker, I find that I could get Axioms plus a custom finish for cheaper. I don't have a lotta dough to throw around. So, I'm looking at M50's (possibly M60's) but was wondering if anyone has any axioms with custom finishes, and if so, what are your thoughts? I can't quite tell, but the custom finishes seem to have a bit more of a lustre to them (the normal ones, not the high gloss) even though they are described as "matte." But, online photos are what they are (pretty small, not detailed, no environment) so it's hard to tell. I was wondering if anyone could a) comment on their custom finish and b) share some pics if they have a custom finish. Hopefully that's not a lot to ask. If so, sorry to make you work.
Along those lines, what's up with a pic forum here? That is, why doesn't one exist? There should be a forum for members to show off their Axiom set ups. I read that there's a lot of proud owners out there.
Thanks in advance. I hope to join the axiom family soon.
