Susi, I agree.. This has always amazed me.. The such and such mag will have all this hot info on the latest and greatest speaker, amp, et all.. Followed by a how-to "Place your gear JUST so" or you will not get the best possible sound.. Only to find add after add of fancy furniture to place all said gear, thereby defeating all we just learned ?
Is there really a happy medium ? A common ground (60 cycle not withstanding) we can all stand on ?
LFE ! The rest is just details..

Well since everyone is hijacking and now llnking, i would recommend you peruse these two webpages:
Unusual liquor laws in the US
(I personally enjoyed #8, 9, 21, 22 and of course, for the biology enthusiasts, #29 and 30).
CBC on Canadians and alcohol consumed annually
"Those who preach the myths of audio are ignorant of truth."

I second that Deschutes recommendation. Black Butte Porter used to be my favorite beer -- so much so that I actually made a side-trip to Bend, Oregon to visit the brewery on a road trip.
My favorite these days is Fat Tire Ale by New Belguim Brewing Co. in Fort Collins, Colorado. It used to be very hard to find in California until recently. Now I can get it at Whole Foods and Costco.
Incidentally, with both Black Butte and Fat Tire, I prefer bottled to draught.

Fat Tire is my least favorite New Belgium brew. Try the excellent Trippel Ale or my personal favorite Biere de Mars Ale. Their website is http://www.newbelgium.com/

Sounds like there are some knowledgeable drinkers that also own Axiom speakers. I would have expected more Pabst Blue Ribbon guys than Belgian ale fanatics on this site (Axiom speakers being so value oriented). I heard alot of subjective claims from you guys about one beer being better than another. What was your methodology? Was it a blind test? Were they the same temperature?
Seriously though, it is nice to know that I'm not the only boozehound on this board. And don't even begin to think that I'm some dweeb from LA that thinks George Killians is an import. I love Belgian Dubbel (even a La Trappe will do nicely), but as long as it isn't corn or rice mixed with 6-row I'm easily satisfied.
And one other thing. What's up with Canada trying to make all these different beers that were originally from other countries? They ruined Harp.

it may be time to replace those pictures of dogs, personal shots etc. with a graphic of your favorite brew, or vintage; if you can decide on only one. but, how would one decide, in stereo or prologic mode?
did axiom hire that mystery person to craft the new Aximus, hand crafted brew? if they can ship speakers so quickly, a two day wait for an exceptional libation is not out of the question. do we need a beer/wine thread?

Quality is very imortant. Particularly when you are going to indulge in quantity.

Your forgetting the other part of the Axiom board. It's not just value based, it's more of a bang for the buck nature. The greatest quality at a low price. We'd all have HTIB if we only cared about value
