Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Axiom Loudspeakers vs. Rocket Loudspeake

I completely agree. Most, if not all, "strangers" whom I've invited into my house for various reasons (e.g. speaker auditions, to look at or buy things I'm selling, etc.) have been far onto the "don't suck" side of the scale.

I've had two people, that I met on this forum, over for listening sessions. It turned out great both times and one guy has even returned several times for listen sessions when one of us gets a new piece of equipment.

None of my regular friends are interested in home audio so its been a real treat to have met some fellow enthusiasts through this board.

I am the "non-returning" guy that once visited to Mike's house. HAHAHA... Hey, Mike, seriously, come over to our place this time to listen to my system and experience some front projection!

I've also had no less than a dozen "strangers" hear/watch my system -- so far, no bad luck. In fact, all sessions have been very enjoyable.

Just to further the "people good" discussion. My wife was worried about me going to a strangers house to audition his M3s before I bought Axioms. She made me post his address and ph# on the fridge before I left. I turns out neither of us is an axe-murderer and we had a good talk about things other than music. Once I get my M60s (tomorrow!) and set them up he is going to come over for a listen...imagine that.

Sounds great! I'd love to.

WOW! where did you get all those "strangers"?

In the short time I've had my new system, I've already had at least 5 people stop by to "demo" my Axioms.

Mainly those folks who saw my posts in the AVSforum, Mike. Now that I've pretty much stopped posting there, I expect much fewer strangers in the future...

So have you got you all to ourselves now? No AVS, no HTS...are there any other great boards that I don't know about? (soundandvisionmag.com is pretty good, as is htguide.com)

Yeah, now I restrict myself pretty much to the Axiom forum only. AVS has been sometimes great for informational purposes, but as we all know, its S/N ratio is abysmal. More importantly, their "noise/distortion" components are often very unpleasant, unlike those in this forum! AVS is also great for getting into debates, but I decided that it's not worth my time.

To me right now, the Axiom forum RULES!!! HAHAHA...

Thats the case with me too. I go onto AVS just when I need a specific info. Why do I need to go to AVS if there are experts here.
