johnk thanks for the clarification. They used to be foam in the old school days smile I didn't feel like typing Polypropylene smile
Sirquack as stated in the original post I did call axiom and they are the ones that mentioned a possible printing issue
Damagic I never thought of checking mine either my bro-in-law was checking them out and I told him they were 6ohm and he said the label says 8ohm smile so got me wondering.

Hi Ken_s,

Thanks for bringing up this issue; I will notify our production and QC people. It is definitely a label misprint.

Doesn't Chris have a VP150 with an 8ohm sticker on it?

They ought to be worth more, like a miss-minted penny.

I received my speakers including QS8s from Axiom last week and my QS8s are labeled as 8 Ohms as well. When I talked to Axiom about this, they stated that the label is correct and the website needs to be updated. The printed manual that came with the QS8s states 8 Ohms as well.

Hi,

The Impedance of the Axiom VP150v3 and QS8v3 speakers have been revised. You can see the Impedance graph of both speaker models on their respective Axiom web page under the "Specs" tab.

The VP150v3 nominal Impedance has now been establisehd at 6 Ohms:

The 150 is still 6 Ohms but the QS8's are now 8 Ohm, interesting.

I guess this would make them more attractive to potential buyers.
