Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Plaque Poll

Put me in the never crowd. For me it's like putting a "Powered by Honda" sticker on your Honda. Um....duh?

I find it interesting that only about forty folks voted! Out of four Thousand!! I'm also surprised that there weren't more people voicing interest! In other instances of discussion on this topic, there seemed to be more folks at least semi-excited!

...or at least semi-curious

If a model were offered by Axiom, I believe I would be interested. I don't know for sure where I would display one; perhaps where I display other similar items of favorite things.

But yeah; acrylic, wood, Carrera marble, anything suitable would certainly be worth a serious look!

Now, what about the other 99% who haven't voted yet?

is "Honda" the hamster's name?

Sorry, don't even do bumper stickers. Guy

..and I never have dealer stickers on my cars either.

I agree guys, I never put bumper stickers or dealer stickers on my vehicles either, neither do I place the 25th anniversary Nikon plaque on my camera bag when I go out, but I did hang it on "MY" piece of wall!

No bumper stickers or dealer ID on my auto either. But I do enjoy my plaques. The difference, to me, is that messages and advertising on my car affect others. I have no wish to inflect my views and standards on others. On the other hand, my home is MINE, and I decorate (if one can apply that word to my decor ) my home to satisfy ME, and nobody else. I don't even consider what others may think, and I don't expect others to like, or agree with, my choices. I do hope those about whom I care will, at the least, feel comfortable in my home. Anything beyond that is gravy.

Secondly, while I place no advertising or slogans on my car, in several obvious places, one CAN see the word TOYOTA. But, in my home you won't find a Toyota plaque, or a Samsung plaque, or a GE plaque. However, if you look at my TV, right there, in big, easily read letters, is the word Samsung. I'd wager if you look around your home, you'll find plenty of advertising in plain sight. Look at your microwave, your toaster, your refrigerator, your coffee maker, your DVD player, your receiver, etc.. I know that we don't CHOOSE to put that kind of advertising in our home, but my point is we have it in our homes without a second thought, and perhaps, in some cases, even with a little pride.

Lastly, speaking of pride, I would have no qualms about putting an Axiom plaque in my home because Axiom is a company whose business model, products, and customer service are so exemplary they are worthy of my support. I also happen to think a great deal of the people behind those products and services. They have EARNED my respect and my loyalty, which is more than I can say for Samsung, or Denon.

All this being said, I heartily support anyone's right to feel differently than I, and to do the exact same thing I do, to wit, decorate their home they way THEY want. If that excludes an Axiom plaque, I have no quarrel with that.

Yup, Jack, as I mentioned above; I have my own piece of the wall where I hang my Nikon plaque, my Navy plaque, my cruise missile photos and company goodies, and other various nic naks that fit the idiom. And I would probably hang an Axiom plaque there if one were to wander my way as well.

....gads,...the hard copy memories pile up with the years!!

I think those are attractive. Personally, I would probably only invest in that sort of display if I had a dedicated, theme-oriented HT. Since our system room is also our living room, our family would prefer artwork that is a bit more diverse and challenging.

Jack, I solved my plaque problem by increasing the frequency of having my dentist clean my teeth. All three of them really sparkle now.
