Anyone see Foxtrot in this morning's paper?
Sure looks like M80s, a VP150 and an EP500 to me! He could have drawn some Bose or Polk or Infinity….but it really looks like Axioms (except for the lack of QS-8s… too hard to draw?) Yellow highlighting done by me...not on original!
Congratulations Ian... you made the comics!

That's pretty cool! I definitely agree that the fronts, center, and sub look like Axioms. Especially the sub. Now the only question is how come there are no QS8s????

Betcha Amie could tell us if he does.
Are there are any other center channels that use that configuration? I don't know of any. Gotta be Axioms, don't ya think?

As far as I know, the 150 is the only CC that uses that configuration.
Considering the sub, center and towers are all a perfect match, it would really have to be one hell of a coincidence!
And, FWIW, I didn't word something properly in my first post. I didn't mean to write that a QS-8 would be too difficult for an artist to draw (!) but rather that the design would not be as "understandable" to most readers as a more typical bookshelf would be. Also, there's no port on the "M80", but again, most people wouldn't understand what that extra little circle on the bottom of the speaker was. If I were drawing the strip, I would avoid drawing in the port and putting quadpolar-design speakers in there as well! That makes me think that even though there's a few minor inconsistancies with a typical Axiom setup, they're inconsistant for good reason and therefore earn even more credence that it really is an Axiom setup!

I vote it's an Axiom setup. The surrounds are listed as 6 ohm like a QS-8, but the M2i was drawn for simplicity of understanding by the general population like Mark suggests.
Pretty cool. This just has to get filed with the manuals for my system.

ya know, i saw that right after midnight and I was gonna post about it but I got tied up at work. Even came here to verify the driver arrangement on the 150 and the port on the 500! even though the 80's are missing the ports in the comic, it's way too close to be a coincidence!
