I've posted this on some other forums, but was curious what Axiom owners thought about going this route. I'm sure it's been posted before, but I haven't seen it. Has anyone ordered Axioms through their outlet section which gives you 10% off plus the 5% package discount? It would be a 15% discount for a full package. Just wanted to see if anyone has ordered this way, and if so, can you share your thoughts on the quality. what has your experience been? I thought about doing it this way, but was wondering about the quality of these speakers. I like my things to be nice, so unless the condition is pretty nice, I might not go this way. However, the discount is very tempting. Could I get some insight about your experience? Also, how long did it take you to receive your speakers? Thanks.

The outlet works great. Very few, if any, flaws on outlet products. Most like me have found no flaws.

I've been on these boards for 7 months and I've heard nothing but positive comments about the factory outlet. The majority of customers don't find any flaws.

I haven't been able to find any flaws on any of my Factory Outlet purchases. If you don't mind the wait it is well worth the savings.

I found one flaw in my 5.1 system. There is a circle about 1/8" in diameter on the top of one M22 where it looks like there was a hole in the vinyl that was patched.
You would only find it if you were looking for it though.
Delivery times a year ago were quite fast. I ordered with the expectation the speakers would arrive after a 10 day vacation, 4 weeks from the order date. They ended up shipping the day before I left. Fortunately, the guy doing my basement was around to sign for them.

Same story here, Sound; found a tiny nick about the size of a grain of rice on one rear corner. With rare exceptions owners have had to employ magnifying glasses(or microscopes)to find the blemish.

I actually discovered my M22's defect digitally -- I stuck my fingers in the port and found that the inner port glued on slightly askew.

I took pictures once. Should get them back up online at some point.

I've owned axiom speakers for about 5 years now. My first 7.1 setup all came from the outlet and I could never fine anything from with them cosmeticly. Technically they are no different than regular stock and have the same warranty as they are still new. My current system was done in a custom vinyl and I could not be more happy. I had a poll started once and if I recall correctly about 60% order form the FO in one way or another.
