So I decided to order some samples, called up Brent and found out some interesting info, the samples are returnable! So all I'll be out is shipping costs to get them back to Axiom! I'm ordering 4 right now!

I'm seriously considering the purchase of an Axiom "system" and after seeing your thread, I will wait to see what your impressions are. TIA

TIA I'll definitely do that! Sorry Argon, I know how difficult this is, I've been struggling for months now! LOL! It'll all be worth it in the end... I do go listen to a system (M60's) last night and came away very impressed! Thanks to Kevin if you're out there!

Ok, this does it. This is the third thread today where it has become painfully obvious that Axiom - an Internet company - needs to buy a good digital camera and a web-guy. They are selling products that cost thousands and hope to get people to opt up to the fantastic real wood for 25% or more premiums. Yet the customers have to search and beg for people's home pictures of various finishes. I can think of no explanation for this. For a web-only company they should have 360 degrees of pictures for every model in every finish and have a cheap virtual room that lets you see that image/finish next to a yellow wall, or a brown rug, etc. It should not be so hard to take our money - and by all accounts their customer services in every other respect is top of the field. I feel better now.

Argon. If you want a nicer finish, but at a better price, consider some of the custom vinyl finishes. I have seen both the HG cherry and HG burled walnut vinyls next to the real thing and they are almost indistinguishable.

Here's a nice review and pic of the M22's in Rosewood. I think they're stunning. I too recommend a high gloss. The gloss adds a rich and elegant touch of class. My M3ti's are of the standard issue vinyl, and, if I had to do it over, a real wood finish would be on the menu. http://www.goodsound.com/equipment/axiom_vassallo_m22_v2.htmRich
