It's a matter of give and take around my house Bruce.

After months of trying, I finally convinced my wife to let me turn our screened room into a music/TV room and all it cost me was a screened enclosed pool. Ouch.

Sorry Randy. Asleep at the switch, as usual.

Yes, that's Craig's basement room. All those speakers and subwoofers are gone now. Nothing lasts too long at Craig's house.

Wow, what can we expect from him next. I thought that was one hell of a system. How can you improve on that.

Well, the room in the photo now has a pair of ACI Sapphire XLs with a pair of Rocket UFW-12 subwoofers. I've heard this system and, for music, it is incredible.

In his upstairs main theater, he has ACI Essence V mains, an ACI Essence center, ACI Emerald on-wall surrounds (now discontinued), and two ACI Maestro XL subwoofers (along with two HSU VTF-3 MKII HO Turbos, and at least one SVS PB-12 Ultra (I can't remember if he has 2 or not). Can you tell Craig likes Mike Dzurko's ACI products?

His Axioms are in a third room.

The Maestro link above shows the old version. The Maestro XLs are so new, they aren't even on the web site yet. But, this is what they look like. The box on the subwoofer is the outboard amp that powers the Maestro.

That is a very nice looking sub, and from what I've read the performance is phenomenal. One of these days I would like to hear some of ACI's products.

Hi Everybody,
Well, after lurking around the forum for several weeks. I have finally ordered a system. I wish to thank everyone for their advise and council. Without each of you I would have been lost in a maze of information. Finally after emailing with Jean-Claude I made a decision. We ordered the Epic Master 350 with a VP150 center channel. I am still thinking the Epic Grand Master would be a better choice, but we will try this and see what the wife says. I can always upgrade.

Of course there is always drama when you order something like this over the net. When I placed my order I received an error do to my credit card. Upon calling my credit company they told me that my credit card had been up graded and a new one issued. Now I did recieve new card about a month ago but since it had a new number and expiration date I assumed that it was an advertisement for a new card and threw it away. Well, to make a long story short after much discussion the credit card company allowed the purchase under the old number and Axiom should be putting the order through today so I should have my new speakers soon.

Again thanks everybody. I will let you all know how we like them as soon as they are recieved and set up.

Cool beans Bob! I'm betting dollars to doughnuts Mrs Annie is going to take a real licking to the new system ... it's great getting the women involved, I believe.

Enjoy!

Every day Axiom's decision to use a vinyl finish seems a little wiser.
