Ok, last Wed night I ordered my speakers and decided, hey since its a free upgrade I'll go with the high gloss cherry. Sure, it means that I'll have to wait an extra few weeks, but it'll be worth it - the finish looks great. Then Friday mid day I get an email from Noreen at Axiom that my speakers have just shipped and I should have them in a few business days! Can this be true, I called to confirm that they shipped the high gloss cherry and Noreen assured me yes - I was just lucky they were in. Could it be a ruse...is Noreen really a cruel person who does this to everyone - only to laugh at them every night?....she sounded so nice! I'll keep holding my breath, but can't believe that I'll be listening to my new system in a few days (M60, VP150, QS8's by the way). AXIOM ROCKS!!!!!!!!
