Couldn't be more happier and could only wish that I have a proper HT room. The system is in the living room now with a 50" Pioneer and powered by the Marantz SR6003. The VP150 is a superb center and I can hear everything loud & clear compared to my previous PSB center. One of my friend came over for some listening immediately place an order for the VP150 to replace his Klipsch and he too grab a pair of M22 to replace his Klipsch front too. The M60 can go real low, I need to listen to stereo mode using my old PSB but now I will just use pure direct that won't engage the sub. But in my heart, I feel like I still need a better sub-woofer to match the M60 to get to the real low effect when watching movies. The CHT-12R just could not do justified and not match the sound of the M60. Surprisingly the Orb Audio's Mod1 did a very good job as surround speakers, effects are loud and clear and integrated very well with the Axiom but I would like to try the QS8 sometime in future. My room size is 20' x 16 x 11' with opening to dining area of 11' x 9' x 13', so a bigger sub-woofer is real important to me. Due to WAF, I am looking for a compact sub such as Hsu ULS-15 or SVS SB13 or SB16 which will have the grunt to fill the room. Any other recommendation? Many of the Malaysian here missed out the opportunity to try out the Axiom due to no local availability and worried on warranty issue....Canada is 9000miles away :p If Axiom can appoint a distributor here in Asia, I believe with the price vs performance the Axiom give, it will shine in this budget conscious part of the world. Bravo, I think I do not need to change my speakers for the next 5-10 years Michael

Excellent! Nothing like being very satisfied after a big expense (or an "investment in your entertainment" like it should be put!).

Great to hear Michael. I'm sure we would love to see some pictures of your new setup and throw in some Malaysian backgrounds while your at it to make me jealous. I awoke to a layer of frost on my lawn last night.
With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

Glad you are enjoying your speakers, Michael.
re. Axiom having a distributor in Malaysia(or anywhere else in fact), they are a company who have chosen to do their business directly with the consumer. They are able to keep their prices down because of this business model(no middlemen)...
HEY!! here's an opportunity for someone like yourself, to audition Axiom's in your part of the world and obtain some "Axiom credit" on some QS8's!
I don't think anyone should be too concerned about 'distance' when it comes to Axiom's warranty, they are notoriously customer oriented whether they live just across the street or 'round the other side of the world.
Those are good subs you mentioned. Some others are Axiom of course, Outlaw, Elemental, Paradigm (DSP), ect...ect....
Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.

Congratulations Michael. That sounds like a very nice system.
You know, given that Axiom already manufactures drivers in China, I wonder if they have thought about expanding their manufacturing there to supply that part of the world.

I think it is quite possible they have thought about this. Do you remember the day they were testing the Chinese language on the forum.

As Fredk touched upon, have your friend that ordered the Axioms tell them he demoed them at your place and you will get Axiom bucks if he keeps the speakers past the 30 days...

"Bravo, I think I do not need to change my speakers for the next 5-10 years"
5 - 10 years? I lovemine so much I can't imagine letting them go sooner than 50 (or easily more). I am glad to hear you are happy with them however.
