Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Gallery Wiggins new Axiom m60 and vp150

New purchase of Axiom m60's and vp150 v3 in my setup. Purchased February 2011. The vp150 is A stock and the m60's are B stock. They replaced Paradigm Monitor 11's and a CC-290 v5's. Pictures taken with iPhone 4.

Xsymphony 12awg speaker cable to front 3 speakers

I believe that was the case.

Good looking setup

True about the auction site... unless otherwise mentioned in the auction details. If it says "These speakers have never left the factory and are brand new in the box." I would not expect them to have any damage and if they did I would return them immediately.

After a week and a bit of auditioning I sent back the speakers to Axiom unfortunately. The blemishes on the B stock m60's eventually got the best of me and I couldn't accept it. The vp150 was also a deal breaker for me as it was hard to get an equal tonal sound across the front. This is from my own personal experience and not discounting Axiom whatsoever. So I paid the shipping back to Axiom and thank them for being an A+ company with the return.

So now I am back at square one shopping for some new speakers. I am looking at the new Monitor Audio RX series and Paradigm Studio v4 series but used. Any other suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks

Focal has some speakers that share a similar sound to the speakers you are looking at, at least to my ears, unfortunately the group they come from escapes me at the moment.

Personally, the paradigm's really can't stand up to the focal, or monitor audio's as far as what i have heard. The focal chorus 826 ( i think, the anniversary edition, sounds great and is comparable to the monitor audio silver RX8. But the focal is more expensive. I once was able to hear the focal 916's against the old monitor audio silvers, and the focal definitely sounded better to me and my wife. But it was the profile series and i just didn't like the design.

From my own experience, I would say the Studio line from Paradigm is a more accurate, fuller range and better built speaker than the Monitor Audio's, certainly the Silver series, though the Monitors are good value(as are Axiom and Paradigm).

Buy Axiom A stock.

That's what I was thinking, unless he didn't like the sound of the Axioms, in which case he may not like the Paradigms or MA's either.

I don't get it.
