To ascertain what Axiom may put out or want to put out as 'new ideas' in the future will really come from the corporate direction that Axiom is moving or wants to move as a company.
That is to say, if Axiom has an interest in becoming the next Sony, the new ideas they may consider could be anything under the electronics category, starting with any X or Y.
If Axiom has an interest to stay close to what they started with, speakers, then one must assume their search for 'new ideas' will involve a venture in that specific regard.

In brief, what new ideas a customer council may be looking for has to be tied to what it is Axiom wants to be as a company.
I'm hoping the council asked that question of Ian and co. It is kind of an important piece of information before one can go looking for a ideas or solutions.


Excellent points chesseroo.

Is the whole purpose of the customer council to speak on behalf of Axiom customers and/or consumers in general than just in the self-interest of the individuals that sit on the council or a little of both?


Our “purpose” is to provide Axiom feedback and input regarding their products, potential future products, and all things they do in order for them to improve the customer experience and the company in general. This includes currently owners (and not just those who frequent this forum, as we the few, not the many), potential buyers and those who no longer own Axiom products. Every meeting we’ve had, we discuss what we would PERSONNALY like to see, and we also discuss what we believe YOU ALL, and all those others out there in the real world would like.

While I have opinions and preferences, as does everyone else, I do my best to look at things from all perspectives and present those views. There have been many times when I’ve represented a view point I do not share, but I know that many others do.

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I am looking for ways to get everyone’s feedback to Axiom in a productive manner. I’ve seen a couple suggestions for doing that (and took note), but not a lot of collaboration on that point.

Thanks for your input. A sticky thread that was mentioned before is a great idea. A thread were the council can continously update ideas (only those individuals and Axiom allowed to post in the thread) about product and service in a nice brief condensed form. No discussion in it (this is what a thread like this is for), just bullet point form - organized, acting as a great point of reference for Axiom, the council as well as Axiom customers. Another good area to put any updates as well. It can almost act as a public itinerary of what the council is interested in discussing (plan on discussing). Transparency of ideas is always good especially when dealing with the customer aspect of this. Just my opinion.

I knew that one would cause trouble. But seriously, I'm not going to pass on that one member of the forum wanted neon green woofers in their M60s, or something like that. That's where I was aimed with that one.

If 50% of the community says they want neon green woofers, well, that'll get passed on. I just might not comment that I'm going to pass it on, since I think it's ridiculous. Hope that clarifies a bit.

Yeah, I’d leave the “emo” looking speakers to Emotiva. ;\)

One thing that might be nice to see are partnerships with other companies.


I like this idea. What companies are coming to mind for people? Since I'd like to see amp prices come down as well as improve reliability of the sub amps, it might be worth looking into a partnership with an amp manufacturer. Axiom could trade their amp tech (while still receiving royalties) in exchange, perhaps, for manufacturing and expertise from the amp maker. I don't know what amp company could complement them in this way, and then it would take same careful calculation to figure out if it's worth sharing the IP with someone else, but if Axiom could get some comparable IP out of it and potentially reduce costs, it might be worth looking into. Of course, that kind of partnership might be like having a roommate. It's probably really hard to find a good match. Right now, Axiom is what Ian has made it into. It could be tough bringing other people into the equation, redefining what Axiom is.
