In December of 2001 I was thinking of new speakers and read the excellent SoundStage review and NRC measurements on the M22, which led me to the Axiom site which I'd been unaware of before. I posted a few times in the following 2-3 months as "anonymous"(no registration required to post in those days)and in March of 2002 ordered my M22s, which I've found no good reason to change. One humorous post I recall from those days was from a purported M2 listener who claimed that the tweeter not only made his ears bleed but left a metallic taste in his mouth. I suggested that while listening he chew a mint to kill the taste and stuff cotton into his ears to absorb the blood. He was upset at not being taken seriously.

I think I discovered Axiom via the Soundstage reviews. It's relatively hard to find their review index page but once you *find* that page it doesn't take long to find yourself typing credit card numbers into the Axiom site ![](/boards/images/graemlins/grin.gif)

Early in '03 I was looking to put together a 2 ch system in the garage as that's where I was spending my time.I had scored a decent kenwood integrated for $30.00 and was looking for some acceptable sounding inexpensive speakers. I somehow got it in my head that... (hangs head in shame) BOSE 201's ![](/boards/images/graemlins/shocked.gif) would be all that. I went on an internet quest for a deal on them and before long I had read dozens or posts on various forums exposing the truth. So I dug in- determined to get something worth having for $200. The JBL's that look like 201's were in the running, but in one of those forums I came across a review of the M3's comparing them to speakers costing $2k. Then I found a few more reviews saying the same things. The Axiom message board was a big positive, and I liked the "factory outlet" option as these would be covered with overspray and crud in no time. The lack of a wall mount was a downer but there was talk of one in the works so I sucked it up and ordered a pair. I compared them to my nht super ones and was quite impressed. They took their places in the garage and a year later the FMB came out and they got positioned properly. Still thought those q's looked way cool, but I was mr 2ch, having shunned prologic1 after hearing a freind's system. By '05 I was watching tv on dvd with the 2ch system,and prologic had passed, so I sucked it up again and bought the q's and an add-on processor. The vp150 was next, then it got expensive- lets not talk about that.

Some review on Amazon for some Polk Monitor series speakers where the reviewer said to check out Axioms instead

I found out about Axiom through Audioreveiw. After hearing of them I read every review I could find. The reviews were right Axioms are one heck of a speaker for the money.

I found out about Axiom on AVS Forums, as well as Audioholics while looking for info on a new sound system, which eventually led me to this forum! ![](/boards/images/graemlins/grin.gif)

I honestly can't remember ![](/boards/images/graemlins/confused.gif) Maybe Axiom discovered me? I just remember finding the site sometime in late 2001/early 2002 and visiting regularly until my basement finish project became a reality 3 years later in 2005. I'm here to stay (as most of us are I'm sure). ![](/boards/images/graemlins/laugh.gif)

I think it was just before or after 2000. I saw and heard the "0" and "1" series in a local store. Frankly I wish I'd bought a set, the QS2s were amazing, they would have been perfect for a computer room. A year later I was in Toronto and auditioned an M3 at that point I knew what I wanted. It must have been around that time I found the website. The BB was very basic in the early days, very few members and most of them used the user name "anon", well except for BBIBH ![](/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif) It's been an amazing ride for Axiom over the last 8 or more years since I stumbled across them.
