Tell me about it. Actually don't. It's already hard enough having to wait until the new house is finished. Only 26 days, soon after which I will join the illustrious ranks of Axiom owners.

A correction - I had just gotten my H/K 525 and was disappointed by the lack of dialog in T2 (I just have 2.1) and was wondering about the center. You did a search on the forums and pointed them out to me. I just joined first.

You're right. I sit corrected, then.

I initially found Axiom mentioned in an obscure thread in the AVS speakers forum late last year (at that time, there were only 1 or 2 threads in AVS that touched on Axioms). I then visited to Mike's house and listened to the M22s along with his Maggies. The session convinced me that Axiom would be the way to go.

I came upon speakers while researching speakers on "audioreview.com". Axiom has a banner ad there. Subsequent research on C-net and other audio/video websites, and my experience on this forum convincedme that Axiom speakers represented uncommon value, a high end speaker at a "mid-fi" price.

I was using a 7.1 setup cobbled together on the cheap from various places (mostly u-bid) consisting of Wharfedale Sapphire 87 fronts, JBL S-center, Infinity BU-12 sub, ancient JBL PRO-III mini monitors, and some small Wharfedale Diamonds. I wanted to replace all these with speakers that would be timbre-matched (and color matched). I couldn't be happier, and I have found a new place to hang out, the Axiom forums.

Thanks. guys! (any females out there?)

I heard about them when Peter told me he was buying some speakers that were sold only on the web. Me, I had great big warning flags go up in my head, but when I heard them, they blew me away.
