Well, I heard back from Axiom. They don't have a formal trade-in program, but they are going to see what they can do for me. It would be alot simpler if I could get someone nearby interested in a purchase from the house (and who would be OK with waiting for the 6 weeks it would take for the custome sepakers to show up).

There is one piece of excellent news, however. Apparently all of the trial returns that go back to Axiom are shipped to Buffalo. Every 3-4 weeks they load a truck and ship them back to Dwight. My expense to Buffalo from Rochester would be pretty cheap, $50-$60 bucks.
