West end...and any money made on the house is going towards tuition in Los Angeles

I wouldn't mind seeing some HG cherry in person, my wife would have to see it as well, and if she likes em, that might be an option for sure.

Well, I have been thinking this lunch hour, and looking at HG cherry pics...and I think I have decided on HG cherry, but here lies the problem. I'll be in LA in September, EAGER to order M80s, however, if I just wait a bit (until November) i'll be able to get the upgrade for free (as per Axiom's free christmas upgrade program every year). I am not sure I could wait that long...it would be pretty darn hard.

Maybe once I move, i'll phone Axiom and try to get them to swing me a deal early since I am an existing owner...if not, I may be forced to wait 2 months!!!

Ken,

If you see this, can you take some pics of your vermont maple M80s and post them in this thread? I am very interested in that finish.

You will love the HG Cherry... the speakers earn positive comments from every person who walks into my HT. (before they even hear them)

What I would really love to see is HG Vermont Maple. Axiom must be able to do this. I think this would be my choice finish.

Pretty sweet that the Axiomites are always there to advice us ...

Vermont Maple M80.


Vermont Maple M80, M50, light maple M3.


The standard Boston Cherry finish is on top, the Vermont Maple is underneath. This is from the old M22/M50 comparison. Looking at the other pics, the color in this one does not seem accurate, but it gives you an idea of what the difference between the two is.


HG Burled Walnut on top, Vermont Maple underneath. This is probably the best color of them all, but the top one is pretty close, too.

Izzat enough, or do you want more?

It looks alot darker on the website...I guess that isn't as true in person?

Well, remember that there were all taken with a flash. The color on the website isn't bad, but it is a bit lighter than that in real life. Your best bet would be to have Axiom send you a sample.

for sure, I'll have to do that. I am going to see if they can gimme a high gloss vermont maple...and if they can, a sample of it compared to high gloss cherry.
