I just wasn't blown away...like I want to be.
Eightman - it's tough for any speaker to really blow someone away when your expectations are very high. In the end, they're speakers - very good ones - but they're not going to do away with air pollution, save the whales or expose the culprits and feed them to the children - to borrow some Bad Religion lyrics.
The upside is - if they don't blow you away now, they won't annoy you later.
They do blend in nicely and don't call attention to themselves. The only time I even notice my Axioms now is when I lay down on the couch with one ear under a QS4 woofer, I hear all the delay and phase games that way, but you can hardly blame Axiom's engineers for that - I've never read "mount one surround directly above your head firing directly at your right ear, the other surround 8 feet away, plug the other ear by pushing it against a pillow, cock your head towards the diagonally opposite main and throw a blanket over yourself for best audio experience"
