hello everyone, i hope all you fathers out there enjoyed the gifts of shirts, ties, and socks yesterday. not to be outdone of course, i also bought my dad some shirts, i mean come on we all need more shirts!!

anyway, after a long time of waiting after i allready KNEW i wanted the axioms, i finally placed the order for the epic 80-500. some of you may remember my review of craig's audition in the spring of last year. i have been waiting for my home to get closer in the building stage where i can purchase the family room components and finally the time has come. i only researched a month or two before going over to craig's and auditioning. i was sold right then and there!!

my components are going to consist of the epic 80-500 in 5.1 boston cherry, yamaha v2700, denon dvd 3930ci, mitsubishi wd57732, and all connected by bluejeanscable. the plan is for a rotel or nad amp next year once i kinda build up the funds some more! the room dimensions are 17x19x10 with tile flooring. yes i know the tile wasn't the ideal choice but i kinda didn't have a say in that department

anyway, im getting married end of july, and moving in the new house after the honeymoon. this will hopefully be sometime in mid or end of august so i'll post some pics after i go through my entire cd and movie collection....thank you axiom, the members of this forum, and craig especially, for all your help thus far!!!

One and a half years? And I thought 4 weeks was too long when I decided I wanted mine. Have fun with your new speakers and have a nice wedding and happy marriage.

Jason, congratulations on your upcoming marriage(even here that comes first)and your incoming Epic 80.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Very nice, Jason! I don't know how you could've waited that long. . .man. Well, you made a good choice. Enjoy 'em when you get 'em.

simply put, i didn't have anything to power them with, nor the money to purchase those components. funny how draining student loans can be once you get that diploma...

You see? Home demos do work. LOL! I think 1.5 years after the demo may be a record.

Congrats on the purchase! (and the pending marriage!)

I dunno... I'm not sure how long it was after I heard Peter's M22s that I bought the M50s. It could easily have been 1.5 years.

In any case, congrats all around!

Congrats!! I hope you enjoy your 80/500 HT as much as I do. I thought that 3 months was a long time to wait. Don't overlook that new Axiom amp! Check with Sirquack about his new amp. There's also a handfull of Emotiva and Outlaw owners that are happy with our equipment as well. Not that Rotel or NAD is a bad route. Actually, that Yam should do a decent job.
