Hmm, as a consumer i personally prefer more standard, marketing titles with a possible numerical indicator for further revisions down the line. The Axiom Millenium series speakers worked fine for this, even shortening the Millenium to just the M. With increasing numbers comes a larger speaker (the M3 being an exception).
M3
M22
M40, 50, 60, 80 then eventually the v2 was added.
Easy enough for someone to figure out at a glance the general size of speakers in the model lineup and the Millenium title works for me.
Axiom Millenium 60s.
Nice ring to it.
But driven by the Axiom A1400 dash 8 amp?
Uggh.
I've never been a fan of these obscure alphanumeric naming systems which inevitably change over time and consumers are left figuring out how to decipher them.
Has anyone reviewed the nvidia video card brand X with the suffix 7600GT or how its predecessor the 7300GT was different, let alone the 4-6 variations in between? 7600GT KO, 7600GTS, 7600GS OC, 760GTX (and of course exchange all the 7600 for a 7200, 7400, 7800...)?
You have to figure out the naming code.
Some video cards really started getting crazy long names with only a two letter designation determining some minute difference between them. This makes for a consumer headache.
What if the next nvidia chipset is the VX and they do not want to continue the 8800 series up into the 10,000 numerical naming realm?
Then the next nvidia card might be the VX1200. Well then consumers now have to figure out if the VX1200 is an older or a newer card than the 8800GTX.
The A1400-8.
First questions at a glance by a new consumer, is the 8 the # of channels or the version?
What is the 1400? Is that a revision number?
Maybe later revisions would be the A1500 and the 1600 series.
What if a version #2 comes out?
A1400-8.2?
So does that mean it powers an 8.2 system?
Newbies won't have a clue.
Or then A1400-8v2?
And if the wattage changes for a design idea or to sell a slightly cheaper version?
A800-5?
Right back to requiring a decipher again.
Sometimes simplicity is best for marketing and alphanumerics only increase in complexity with time.
The Axiom Boulder and the Axiom Pebble, designating a larger or a smaller amp.
Simple enough and sounds alot sexier than a string of variables.
That's my five cents.
Bah.
It all hurts the head after awhile. Maybe medic8r has something for me.
Send me a prescription and i'll have it filled up here. It's cheaper.
