Hello to All ! Thank you to everyone for their valuable advice on past postings .... I just received my Axiom speakers and have begun the setup process. The first step is to put together the stands for the QS8's. However, the one page instruction doc that comes with the stands is not that clear when it comes to how the top part of the mount is to be connected to the bracket legs for proper mounting of the speaker. I did open one of the QS8 boxes and tried to figure things out with the metal bracket and QS8 instructions in hand but this was not too successful either. I feel like an idiot asking this question since I have put together many things in my lifetime and I'm sure the process is a simple one once you have done it once. I was just curious if anyone else has run into this situation or is it just me ? PS _ I will probably also contact Axiom support to see if better instructions exist ..... Thank you ... Paul ....
