I’ve been enjoying my Axiom speakers for 2 weeks now, but I think I’ve discovered the downside to owning Axiom's… They spoil your ears for all the mundane speakers in the world. Has anybody else had this happen?
I flew out of town this week on business and got the usual crappy GM rental car. I don’t remember those radios sounding quite so bad - incredibly bloated bass and muddy treble. It just makes me want to get home that much sooner to enjoy my Axioms. Got’ta dash, I’m headed there now for my recovery dose of music bliss.

Oooh ouch, I've been good naturedly maligned.
Actually, I never expected to be looking down on other speakers, but it was such a noticable difference. I'm not sure what to do. There are so many mundane speakers in my life... and my wallet says I can't replace all of them.

You'll get used to the car ones again after a while, so I wouldn't worry too much. Same thing happenned to me when I got my Axioms, but the car doesn't bother me anymore. It's like I have two different references, one just happens to be much better then the other.

I guess it depends on the car.......... I was out with my father in-law today driving around in his 2005 Avalon that has the JBL Synthesis system in it and dam, that thing pounds hard and sounds excellent!

For me it is two guys that work in my IT department that spent a couple grand on Bose cubes and a small sub. They sit over there and talk about how awesome their systems sound. I had to break the news to them, actually to their ears recently when they came over and listened to a real system

Next time, rent a Ford........they have great o.e.m. sound systems.
THE only "downside" to the Axioms's is: all the new cds you will be buying, and buying, and buying.........
