2 more reasons ...

At one point the renovation was a go (price estimate and timing looked good). Then Axiom had a big sale I couldn't pass up and they were willing to hold the speakers till the house was done.

Reason #7: it's on Sale

The builder came back with a finial price that was 2 times his estimate. We dumped him and started designing a total rebuild. In the mean time I couldn't wait, I wanted to hear these speakers (and axiom was having yet another sale)

Reason #8: Because

Ok ... think I'm done ... smile
