Happy Birthday !!!
Make sure you are home and by the door. Do not let them leave the boxes at the doorstep. It is an ordeal if the boxes are damaged and then the wait for the next set kills you.
Axiom rocks though..i got my second set in 2 weeks after the first was damaged...now its all good..
Not scaring you..but some caution helps.
Regs,

Weeelll....THE packages arrived - for the most part - yesterday. I was on the way home for my 1/2 day off when my wife called to say the Fed Ex van had just pulled up. I was 15 minutes out - by the time I arrived, the van was gone and the monsters were in the garage. I was changing into my homewear when my wife came in and said, "I thought you said there would be 8 boxes?"........I ran back to the garage - 1 QS8 MIA. I called Axiom and they provided the tracking number for the missing box. Undeterred, I set up the rest of the system using my old surround for the missing QS8. SO......now I have run the YPAO and - which, btw, didn't sound exactly right with a weak center and sub. I broke out the RS meter that I bought about 2 months back and went through the manual set. I think I did it properly...I turned on the test tones, turned the master volume to 0 and then tweaked the individual speaker levels until I achieved 75db? I left the sub bumped to around 78....anyway I was switching from old CD's to the new "Classical Starter Pack" to DVDs to TV for the rest of the day. Flat ran out of time - just as some of you predicted. Also, just as you predicted, it was addicting to hear everything like it was the first time.
ANYone hesitating on these speakers should rest easy. It is all true. They reveal exactly what is on the CD and do it with authority. I promise that I did not "drink the Kool Aid" - it is true! I now know what everyone is talking about on the aquarium scene in Nemo.
Just checked my last tracking number - says it is on a vehicle for delivery......

Very good, Rob; enjoy. And although I won't demand "pics" of the "Classical Starter Pack", please describe what you got.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

I got the Holst Planet CD along with Stravinski Rite of Spring, a Vivaldi and a Wagner that my brother recommended. No one on here seems to mention Wagner? The other speaker showed up yesterday - so I am up and calibrated.
