Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners other online speaker companies and Axiom

Dean (Grunt) is in Phoenix and listed in the Hearing Things Thread. I would PM him!

I waited and waited for someone close to me to offer up an audition. In the end I had to trust that the Paradigms were a close match, heard them at a local place and then placed the Axiom order on faith. My first moment after receiving them was that I couldn't believe how good they sound. Second thought was "why did I wait so long". I have an Epic 60 - 500 setup.

Hi Sawyer
I am one of the few here on this forum that actually listened to Axiom speakers in a store before I bought them. This was back in 1986. They weren’t he best sounding speakers, but even then they had the best sound to cost ratio. They sounded very good to me, and I could afford them. I remember part of what helped me decide to buy Axiom then was positive reviews and awards they were getting in Sound Magazine.

In 1994 I moved to KEF, a very highly regarded British speaker manufacture only because the Axiom dealer in my town went out of business a year before. When it was time to upgrade again in 05, I went back to Axiom. For me there were other reasons to go back to Axiom than just sound quality. I was invited to the plant in Dwight for a tour and a private demo in their sound room. It was a great afternoon and I learned so much. I also enjoy this forum, the people here seem very down to earth, knowledgeable and I feel kind of like part of an extended family. And Axiom’s customer service is the best in the business. Couple that with a great sounding speaker line and a price that would still allow us a family vacation once a year the decision to go with Axiom was pretty clear. I have never regretted my decision to purchase Axiom in 1986 or in 2005. Axiom just has all the pieces of the puzzle for me, something I couldn’t get at the other speaker manufactures.

Good luck with your search and remember to never regret your decision!

Thanks for all the input. I agree that the Axiom owners are some of the friendliest around. I didn't realize Grunt was like 20 minutes from where I live. Pizza and beer and a short drive will likely seal the deal.

Any more input is more than welcome!

Here's a little more input, bring some music you are familiar with as well as music that will challenge the Axioms, I'm sure if Dean takes you up on the offer he will also show you the difference between a good and poor recording which Axiom speakers will reveal.

Also, extra cheese on the pizza, green olives and Italian sausage...and some imported fermentations to wash it down.....

Hey Larry I sent you a PM and see that you are online so give me a call right now if you can.

Dean

I do believe Larry is in for an audio treat very soon and I wish I could join in the fun at Dean's place.

Yea Dean and I hooked up today and I'm planning on heading over next week to hear his Axiom set up. I'm excited, I've been thinking about axiom speakers for 5 plus years now, so to actually hear them in person will end the internal debate I have been having.

Well, we've all wanted to meet Dean for some time! You should have a swell time!







Just............don't...........go.......in...the........basement!!!!!!
