Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Five-finger discount

All right, so I've got the first four items of my five-item order figured out. 2xEP800 and 2xQS8. I need to select a fifth item to get the 5% home theater discount. I'll need another balanced XLR cable, and the Axiom cables are nice, I'm sure. However, I'm also perfectly satisfied by the much cheaper Dayton cable I got for my EP600, so maybe I can choose another item in its place. I'll need at least a couple ceiling brackets when I move my system to the basement, but that's still a ways off. It's another option, though. I'm going to need more speaker cable for the new surrounds, but again, I would be fine buying cheaper speaker cable elsewhere, and does the bulk Axiom speaker cable even count toward the discount anymore, even when it's over $30 worth? I know it doesn't count in the online shopping cart, but would they allow the discount if I'm phoning in my order, do you think? Speaker cable is the thing I'll definitely need, but I should probably buy cheaper stuff, at least for now, since I'll need different lengths for my basement install anyway.

I'm open to suggestions for the fifth item. What do you all think?

You could buy me one of those axiom jackets. If I plan on moving to colorado i'll probably need to get something to wear in the winter time.

:P

Maybe you need to get a set of Audiobytes?

I actually got the AudioBytes, and I'm listening to them right now.

A strait jacket might be more appropriate for you if you think I'm buying you something. Ha ha.

So much for me being open to suggestions, huh?

Get another M80 to use as a center. If you just can’t make it fit (you’re really not trying) then get another VP150 and run dual centers in hopes that they can be heard over the dueling EP800s

I was thinking maybe another VP150, but the idea of a vertical center is something I like, too. An M22? When I finally buy a front projector, I'll probably consider another M80 behind an acoustically transparent screen, but then it seems like maybe there's a tradeoff in image quality, or that the screens aren't as acoustically transparent as touted. I haven't really researched it, so I don't know how well-founded those impressions are.

you could always get another EP800. I mean, Why not?

Oh, man, it's going to be torture already counting down the layaway payments. I don't want to extend the pain by quite THAT much.

Axiom's speaker cable used to count as long as it was over $30.00 even in the online store, give them a call, I would bet as you are a returning customer it would be allowed. I really like their speaker wire it is worth the extra coin/ft.

Jason, you are correct. Anything purchased from Axiom counts in the order so long as it's worth $30 or more.
