Brian, Axiom emphasized strongly that returned items weren't even used for Factory Outlet(when it existed)sales, much less for regular stock. I think we can be confident that Axiom has been truthful on that point.

What happens to the returns then? I'm sure that they just don't throw them away. My guess is the speakers and crossover are removed and placed into new cabinets. But what if the cabinet is also good? Hmmm.

Cat,
If Axiom employees or their families don't buy them, they are "parted out" and the enclosures go to the wood chipper to be recycled back into MDF.

I got the tracking number for the new tweeter yesterday. Should have it by Tuesday. The bad one is currently loosely connected in my right channel M2. But I'm not listening to those this weekend! :-)
I have been listening to music on the M60's for most of the day today, mostly in stereo with my SVS sub crossed over at 80 Hz.
I am running my 3808 in Audyssey L/R Bypass mode so only the sub is using the Audyssey processing from a previous run. The previous speakers sounded like crap in here without Audyssey but so far I have not had any desire to do an Audyssey run with these!
I have been playing with toe-in (which is very critical in here). It really is amazing how good the horizontal dispersion is. I am finding that I can use much less toe-in than my previous stand mounted speakers. And the center image is still very good. I am really enjoying the larger soundstage these towers provide.

Thanks Alan, good to know.
While we have you here, how much were the M60's tweaked for v3?
I notice that the response graph in the manual I got is a bit flatter through the mids and highs than the original NRC graph (that is still posted on the website).
Thus far, I doubt very much that my M60 cabinets will be going to the wood chipper!
Thanks again for the great service!

Are any words said over them first? Thanks Alan. I appreciate the response.

Yes, it is a somewhat sad occasion, but we can take consolation from the fact that the recycled MDF can live again to make fine new Axiom speakers.
