Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Are You Finished?

1 What finish do you have on your axioms?
Don't have any, will be getting them early next year.

2 If you could, would you choose a different finish?
I would like to veneer them.

3 Do you have upgraditis? What do you think will cure your upgraditis?
My current stereo system (Crown IC150 pre-amp, Crown D150 power amp) was purchased around 1976 so I guess the answer is 'no' I tend to plan for what I wneed (or want) and then purchase. Home theatre however seems to be something that always involves change.

I don't intend to replace the Axioms I get as I'm no longer young and what I buy will last as long as I do

Any future home plans involve down sizing, what we currently have is far to big for the both of us. The only area of growth might be if I decide that I want to go from 6.1 to 7.1 but I hope to have that all straightened out before I purchase

1. They haven't arrived yet, but when they do they'll be black Oak to match every other piece of HT equipment I have. My room looks like a black hole.

2. I don't think so, though I find several other finishes very attractive. Kudos to Axiom for providing so many choices. I'm beginning to think this is a very exceptional, and unfortunately rare company. Every experience with them so far (ordering, a couple of phone calls, and this forum) has been eye-openingly pleasant.

3. BIG TIME! That's obvious since I just ordered the 22ti's and a VP150. I'm sitting here at this dumb computer after 4 hours of sleep because, after waking for the obligatory trip to the head, I couldn't get back to sleep for thinking about the HSU STF-2. If I don't pull the trigger on that soon, I may NEVER get any sleep. Upgraditis is a horrible condition. AAARRRGGGHHH!

Out of interest, Buffalo Oak, Warm Cherrywood, and Natural Maple are waayyy ahead of the rest of the finishes. Charcoal Smoke is gaining headway as well. Interesting!

what would be nice is if you click on the finish and a speaker would come up in that finish. right now it is just a blank pop-up with that finish, but no speaker.

just a thought

trust us, its been thought of before!

For amie and joe to photograph every speaker in every finish would be quite a task!

Which is precisely why I'm offering to do the photography for them! Amie, just send me each of your speaker and sub models in each of the available finishes and I'll take some nice professional photos of them. It would be a good idea to stagger the shipments so I'm not overloaded with boxes, though.

Hey, im a budding photographer too ya know! i think it would be alot cheaper for them to hire someone to do it rather then send me boxes of speakers to and from hawaii. of course, i would be O.K. with them just sending to me and not having to pay to send them back too
