Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners QS series surrounds

I don't ever recall saying "ugg black". But I would like to keep all my Axiom's in the Boston Cherry. Of course a really good deal on black QS8's could change my mind.

Mus musculus domesticus

The custom coat color shown is called agouti.

I always preferred rattus norvegicus, as pets, of course.

As to which, QS4 or QS8, if your room is of fair size, and can afford it, go with the Eight.. I'm sure the Fours are great, but the 8's have a the edge with upgraded speakers and tweeters..
Hanging them is really simple.. The '4' at 5.5 lbs or the '8' at 11 lbs, no biggier either way.. Just go to Home Depot or Lowe's, and pick up a little pac of "EZ Anchors"..
Believe me, these things really work, and are so simple to use.. All you need is a Phillips screw driver.. They are not expensive at all, small in size, finish off flush with the wall, and can hold up a baby grand piano if needed.. You will only need two or three anchors per each Axiom provided bracket..

My QS8's are mounted using dry wall anchors and they're sturdy as hell. There's no give to them and I've certainly never had a fall. I wouldn't worry about finding studs specifically, though it would certainly be nice if there happened to be studs where you wanted to mount.

Thanks for the tips guys.

If in doubt -- and you're really sure you're never going to move,upgrade your speakers, or paint the walls -- slather a bunch of this stuff in between the speakers and the wall, too.

Or as wire cutters... My lamp still attests to this. ;-)

Will,
I am in the market for some black QS8's. Lemme know if you are seriously interested and maybe we can work out a deal.
