I concur. As I touched on in my post, your reasons of made in house, and my loyalty to axiom(my m80s are the best speakers I have ever owned), are enough for me
But hearing about your quality issues with svs directly is nice to know.
My father bought 2 pc-2000's and has been running them hot and hard for a year now with no problems. But I still suspect the axiom build quality to be much better
And I'm reminded of that everytime I unbox something new....
Yesterday it was the qs10's and the stands to go with it. Very solid machining on the stands in particular.
