Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater DHL SUCKS....they are toying with my emotions lol

So I finaly ordered my axioms...M80's, 2 QS8's and a VP150. It wasnt supposed to be here till the 26th but the DHL site this morning said it would be the 25th. I was all excited because it was a day sooner. Then low n behold DHL drops them off today.....BUT....only the vp150 and ONE QS8 and ONE M80. Booooooooooo WTF am I supposed to do with one front and one rear hahahahahahaha.

At least I can drool on the ones I got now......

You could be the first to introduce HT setup for small boats. (M80 in front, VP150 in the back and QS8 on a mast moving left/right/left/right...)

No, seriously, this is annoying and I sympathize with you.

I'm waiting for a comment from Peter on leathery port holes and finger tests to this one.

Well the rest of the stuff came in today and I took them home and hooked the fronts up real quick for lunch. They sounded great for the first 5 min........then my old ass onkyo shut down. I guess it dont like the 4ohm load....and me running it at full clip for a few min. Guess I now need a new reciever....something I wanted anyway. I could just get a emotiv amp since the TXDS676 has pre outs....I just dont know if when I hook a externial amp to it...will I still be able to run some outside speakers??

If it has a 4/6/8 Ohm switch, set it to 8 Ohms and see if it still shuts down. Why were you running it at full clip?

After I typed that I figgured it would be taken wrong...I dont mean full clip as in the amp was clipping. I mean full clip like as loud as I feel it should/could go....not over driving the speakers...but loud enough to spook the dogs.

There is no switch for ohms...the manual says 6 ohm min...I am just guessing it cant take it loud for long.

I wish I had your problem. I could then justify an A1400 .

It would be a better problem if I didnt just build a house and buy a bunch of other goodies. My HT system is/was about 7 years old and I am upgrading. I want to wait a little while before I get "the" new reciever/pre/pro...but I want something to tide me over.

We use DHL at work because they are cheaper than other places, but wow... I sent a package to my sister who lives in Dubuque, Iowa (about 3 hours east, and a little north of me). DHL sends it south and west on day 1, then WAY east on day two, just to have to send it back west to Dubuque. I don't know HOW they can be cheaper that UPS! I mean, if I had shipped UPS, my sister would have had the package yesterday instead of getting it tomorrow.

Here is a picture of the package route so far. The blue box is where my sister lives.
