Hi all I'm new here. I just wanted to say how much I love my Axiom speakers.
I've had them about 2 months now and am very lucky I got them. Originally, I was planning to build my first proper home theatre setup. I had very little knowledge of what I was doing and my first choice for speakers was the Bose Acoustimass system, seeing as I'd heard soooooo many salesmen praising them. Fortunately, I decided to do a little research first and checked out some consumer reviews, practically all of which were poor at best. Interestingly, though, there was one guy who praised Bose for producing decent speakers that were small enough not to piss his wife off, but also said that if he had the sapce, he could of got a far superior system from some company called Axiom.
That peaked my interest and, as I'd now decided that Bose was clearly not the god's gift to ears that my local shops seemed to make out, I decided to check out the Axiom consumer reviews. All were glowing and stressed how much the speakers were not only good, but better than many that were several times the price.
So I plumped for a pait of M22s, a VP 150, 4 QS8s and an EP500. The Axiom saleswoman was incredibly helpful and sorted through all the problems we had regarding payment (I live in the UK and there were some stupid problems with the credit card company) and the further problems regarding customs (they obviously thought my speakers were loaded with coke!)
Of my entire new system, I was expecting to be impressed the most by the new 50" plasma HDTV, but it was the Axioms that blew me away. I'd often heard the term "soundstaging" bandied about on HT and audiophile forums, but I never really experienced it until hooked these babies up. More than that, I could now hear sounds in films and music that I'd never heard before. AT ALL!!! It was like having totally new stuff to listen to.
The only downside... my cat slinks around on his belly during any excessive bass output from the sub. Poor thing thinks there's a storm approaching!
Anyway, I love my Axioms so much. They've totally changed my listening experience and I thank the guys at Axiom for producing a quality product at a not-extortionate price.
