Looks like Michael is being funny. Actually he arrived here yesterday about 1pm with his pair of Rocket RS-550s, and headed home about 11pm. Was great meeting him in person and I enjoyed being able to actually hear Rockets on the Halos in my listening area. The rosewood cabinets are very impressive, and in my opinion well worth the additional cost over Axioms. As for the differance in sound of Rockets/Axioms, I'm not getting into that, to me that is totally subjective.
I want to thank Michael again for packing up his Rockets and hauling them up here, they are not exacly light weight speakers.
