I bought them for a friend. I ordered a custom finish. I waited more than a month before I received them. I did not want to wait another month.
So, while you are correct, I could have returned them, I felt that further delay would cause me more embarrasment. After all, the person I bought these speakers for does not know the difference between V2 or V3 M3s.
I do know the difference. The fact that I could have returned them does not really change the lingering impression left from Axiom's repeated assurances that these M3s were really V3s.
Bottom line, the speakers are wonderful, but I don't think Axiom customer service is what it used to be.
