Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners M60 vs M80

$684 USD came up a few times on a search as well for the 2310.

I'm from Kansas City, Missouri. I'm used to ordering on-line as long as it's from a reputable company. I built a really good PC from ordering parts from newegg.com this spring and summer. Blew about $2000 on parts, but got a really good machine.

My original figure for HT was about $6500, but am trying to cut costs and still get something decent. Hence the M22 order I made today.

The hdtvdreams.com price seems too good to be true at around $580. Seems a little suspicous since they say the competitors sell same for around $1100 when retail was set at $850 though.

CB, I'm sure that you'll enjoy your M22s as I have mine for almost eight years now.

On the receiver, keep in mind the option of a factory refurbished unit at considerable savings. I've had good experiences with them and tend to agree with the view that they're more likely to be trouble-free than a brand-new unit.

One especially good buy at this time is the Onkyo 706 for about $450 with free shipping from Accessories4less , an authorized factory refurb dealer.

John, so the thought process is that a more experienced tech went over the unit and refurbed anything that needed it vs. new production techs that are just doing a job? I never thought of it that way but that does seem to make some sense?

Concerning HDTVdreams.com, read the reviews. You probably won't be placing an order with them.

I've had good luck with refurbs, too.

Well....I guess I will no longer just dismiss them out of hand. Having given it some thought, I was probably hasty in my dismissals all these years?

I've been a little skeptical about refurbs as well, though I have a Logitech remote and an Oppo 980H that have not given me any issues so far. Both looked brand new when I got them.

I'm thinking about either an Onkyo TX-SR806 or a Denon 2310ci receiver. I want something with the most sound/equalizer adjustments. Does anybody have any experience with either of these or have a better recommendation?

Also, I ordered the M22's and stands 2 days ago on Tuesday, and no word yet from Axiom about delivery. Is it typical to wait several days before they ship them?
