A few quick pics of the W3














Whats this, the new M100 ?


Tried the W3s out for a short time, just connected them to the front M80 wires, used stereo mode, and they sound impressive so far, to late to really test them well.

Those look nice. Where are you installing them? A secondary system or as surrounds? Can't wait to see pics of them installed.

Those gorilla ports aren't puckered...what's the deal? That's a classic Axiom trademark!

Dennis, we were all wondering how you'd find a spot for those W3s. On top of the M80s? Brilliant!!

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Plan one was for the garage since I spend 6 -10 hours a week out there keeping the cars, trk, and motorcycle clean. Plan two was the master bedroom, and so far from the sound of the W3s, looks like bedroom wins.
Will be adding a Halo set for power, a T3 preamp and the A23 amp (125watts x 2), so nothing like the Halo power for the main system, but should work well for a two channel music system for the bedroom.

The ports are actually a solid ABS like material (Amie,Alan ?)that extends six to seven inches into the enclosure.

Was the easiest and the least amount of work to test them out using the Halos, even with the ports being on the top, still sound great. Will do better sound testing over the weekend hopefully, but they did fit rather well onto the 80s. lol

Hey Dennis, those are really nice looking! The W3s I audtioned in the summer were, uhm, you know, prototypes, flat black and unfinished MDF.

I don't recall anyone commenting on the lack of the puckered ports as we sat around the Axiom conference table.

In the fourth picture Dennis posted (the one looking into the ports) there seems to be some definite pucker. It's just "internal pucker" rather than... well, you know what I mean.

Um... not to drag the thread off topic or anything, but... Dennis, what is the countertop and backsplash material we are looking at ? It looks wonderful and no I haven't finished my kitchen yet

The countertops/backsplash is 12'' x 12" granite tile, cost here in the bay area is $12 ea. Going on 6 years of use, and not a problem with it. If you do use any granite tile, I recommend using a sealer on it, granite is not impervious to water, and water can leave marks that can not be removed, along with some fruits and so on.
