You did order before the v3 announcement so you should not have been expecting v3's, IMO. That is just one of those 'DANG! I bought too soon' momments.
I also think Axiom should not have assured you they are v3's as they do lack all of the visuals(one color driver and no mag grilles) of the v3. Did they at least mention the fact your v2/3's would not have the new visuals? If not then I would be upset too.
Something for prospective buyers to keep in mind, Axiom/Ian makes running changes to his speakers as he sees fit. I doubt early Ti models are the same as later models, well, we know they are not as this was the reason the v2 designation came about and I highly doubt early V2 speakers are the same as later models, again we know this to be true.
