How in the world did I miss this thread?

To solidstate...

Look man, we all have different opinions on what's good and what's bad. Speakers, vegetables, beer, cars, bathroom tissue, fishing lures, etc. A lot of us are going to go to bat for Axiom because the majority of us here are happy Axiom owners and this is, after all, a forum about Axiom products. Go to any forum about any brand of speaker|car|weed whacker|ice cream and post that you don't like their speaker|car|weed whacker|ice cream and see what happens. People are going to disagree with you, simply because it's human nature. Did some people here take your comments a little to personally? Probably. Did you overreact? Probably.

I don't question your intentions, nor am I going to call you a troll or launch into any sort of philosophical/scientific debate over the pros and cons of gravity, LED's, glue, or whether or not $500 power cables make one iota of difference. I, at least, appreciate the pictures and the lively debate.

But at the end of the day, the simple fact is this - you/your client spent $9,000 on Axiom gear and you/your client are not happy. Sorry to hear it, but it happens. The good news is that Axiom has their 30-day return policy. Call them. Send it all back. Return the stuff and buy the {insert brand here} speakers that you (or your uncle) really want. No harm, no foul, lesson learned. Go in peace.

It's been three years already Peter.

Other Peter here.

First, figure out how to reverse the flow of time far enough so that you re-enter the 30-day return period. Then return the Axioms.

And remove all the posts in this thread.

I was unaware of that bit of information. In that case.... WTF!?

It was to stay all under my hat until I took at good look at the cabinets, did some research on some review sites and their professional journalistic practices and came here for abuse. Then when I used my notebook and gear and found the same properties for the VP150 and M80v2 as Dannie Ritchie reported I was pissed. I always noticed the strange off axis (both vert and horizontal) performance of the M80, VP150 front concert but it wasn't really until I used my gear, sent some emails and made some phone calls... I had an understanding as to why. Then I looked inside each cabinet and really got MAD. From there it just got worse reading http://www.6moons.com GLOWING reviews on http://www.goldensound.com fraudulent and pseudo-scientific products like the gigahertz tweeter and $130 ferrite chokes. It was the reviews on 6moons.com with it's multi driver collage "money shot" and audioreview.com that made me pull the trigger on my uncle's gear in the first place. After a critical review and a little research (archive.org) that I really began to realize the level of collusion going on here. This is when I really just wanted to get rid of the lot... and the ranting began. I feel betrayed. Not quite as bad as some dude selling me "high end" speakers from a van in the pub parking lot... None the less betrayed.

PS though not as bad as buddy at positive-feedback.com (Thomson should sue your ASS OFF) ROTFL http://tinyurl.com/nmdpgg gees at least I'm not making the excuse of a "couple beers going to my head er... EARS" ROTFL

Ok, so this may have gotten lost somewhere in all of these posts, but what exactly was the problem with the inside of your m80s?

Solid, it's against forum rules to post that you have items for sale.

Good. You've got it all figured out. Now piss off and sell your gear.

I like hanging out here. I don't like your crap. I have better things to do with my life. Its sad that you don't.

Altered State is quite the drama queen isn't he?

Here is an review by the late John Potis that I found interesting. He mentions certain people who upgrade crossovers with megabuck components and questions the intent of such mods. You have to read down a ways before you get to the part on crossovers.
