In my opinion, they would be slated for the wood chipper stock.

If you are talking about the cone, yes it looks like I can see glue. But it's not on the HG CHerry itself.

So the last picture is just a smudge mark from the oils on your hand?

Don't think so since I didn't touch it when I took the pic. I just think it's a reflection of light. If taken from a different angle you wouldn't see a thing.

Viewing pictures from a computer are deceiving. That reflection shows up much differently than the reflections on the other pics on my monitor.

Just CALL them.

I think everybody who isn't Daniel needs to just relax a little. Remember, we only hear about problems, and if this was "normal", Axiom wouldn't be in business.

As I mentioned in the past, from everything I see on this forum and my personal experience, it seems that Axiom's QC/QA has been going down considerably over the past year.
As for the glue on the cones, I also have those, I don't like it but can live with it even though it shouldn't be there.
Overall, the condition of the speakers are unacceptable for a A-stock custom finish, actually, it's unacceptable even for a B-stock standard finish.
The only thing I can say on Axiom's defense is that I am sure they'll make things right, but that doesn't change the fact that you're disappointed at this very moment. I know the feeling.

I have never had a problem with the finish or construction quality of any of the 17 Axiom speakers I've purchased over the years including some with custom finishes. Let's say that something happened to those speakers during manufacture, how do they get shipped in that condition? It would speak to a total absence of quality control.

Maybe US Customs opened the boxes and treated the speakers with all the care you'd expect from a government worker. I assume that neither the purchaser or anyone acting on his behalf subjected these speakers to rough treatment.

Very disturbing.

You Torontonians are cursed! They are only a few hours away from Dwight.

I think it has to do with the Dock Spiders.
