Just wanted to post, after "thinking" about my purchase for almost a year, I finally received my shipment today from Axiom. I got a pair of M60's, VP150 and a pair of QS8's. The warm cherrywood with black grills is FANTASTIC. My wife loved the finish, which made the $270 upgrade worthwhile for the both of us. I have not yet hooked up the QS's as I am still waiting for some 12ga in-wall speaker wire. For anyone that is cheap like me, I can not recommend enough they DIY recipe for StarQuad Cat5 cables. See this link for info.

If more people are interested I can post some pics of the "jig" I made for making these exceptional speaker wires. Happy listening and btw, the speakers sound wonderful!

Yes, please post some images.
Wished that the Warm Cherrywood was a "regular" finish offering...
But that will be probably what I will order once the funding arrives.
Love to see pictures of "live" units before that though...

Nice audio setup and a cool kid to boot  !
You probably already know this but I have a suggestion:
pull the M60s forward when it's time to listen for better imaging and soundstage. You can always push them back when you're not using them.

You have a point there. 
How about a challenge: The first person to post a pic of his smiling SO next to his speakers gets a prize. More points awarded for comical or sexually suggestive (with the speakers) poses...
