Owh, my sides hurt from laughing. Now that's a downside I can already appreciate!!! Our collection of DVD movies has been very rapidly expanding, and music is already showing signs of following after years with no purchases.
I never get to choose what I rent. They just give me the cheap corporate mid-size car that's available.

I still want Axioms for my car! Our, dare I say it, mini-van, has a nice hi-end Infinity 10 speaker system in it, which is MUCH nicer than my car, but even it sounds crappy compared to my Axioms.
Not that I want Axiom to spread out in to the world of car audio (they do in-house audio so well, spreading out could take away from what they do best), but I want that level of sound, but at a good price, just like their in house stuff!
Maybe I just need to break down and start doing upgrades there too.

The new built-ins are at least a step in the right direction...

Chrysler? I have a ten-speaker Infinity in my Plymouth. It's better than most factory car stereos but I find it's bass heavy. Not deep bass heavy, just kinda mid and upper-bass heavy. (sigh).

Hmmmmmm.......Returning to the original idea of this thread......
Downside of owning Axiom? Let's see.....what they are not.
They are not "Party" speakers with way too much driving bass. Folks who think "Stereo Speakers" should "sound" like stereo speakers COULD be disapointed.
In the HT mode they don't sound like the usual "Not so Well Designed and executed" movie theater that so many of us have to attend by default. In that reguard; Axiom based HT systems could sound "Not Right" to some.
On the other hand; Axiom speakers allow voices to sound like voices, instruments to sound like instruments and effects to sound "real"
This is NOT what some of our friends and family have come to expect from a quality sound system
