Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions In the family now...

I prob'ly already recommended Dropkick Murphys also -- but hearing you're into soccer, AND political punk, all the more reason -- Check out their CD "Blackout" which you can order at their Website or Amazon or other places. There are a few downloads on the Dropkick Murhphys site -- kinda hard to find, but linked off the Discography page.

And if you like the DKMs, you'll love The Real McKenzies - the Western Canadian alternative. (Hard to sneak any band on Epitaph, Fat Wreck Chords, Honest Don's, Pink & Black or Alternative Tentacles past me - especially one that's split a 7" with Agnostic Front)

Strangely, the North American release I'm waiting for the most right now is "The Curse of Blondie".

Thanks - I'll check out the Real McKenzies. Any good starting points?

Right on brotha!
Welcome to the family. I'm listening to some gatecrasher cds with my m50s right now...sweeet!

Got my M3s on Friday (2 days after ordering)... Ian - very nice work.

And you know you've done well when my fiancee who can barely tell the difference between a mono and a stereo program goes from "well, I'm glad you're getting your speakers" to "holy crap... when are we getting the rest of our home theatre?"

I've created a monster.

Bren R.

Lucky you!

That's not just the speakers. I think she's just transitioning from thinking like a single woman to thinking like a married woman. Is your wedding date approaching? It's amazing how quickly mine and yours becomes mine and ours.

Boo for misogyny!

I don't think she fully realized what the new system would sound like (though I remember my centre channel sounding as good as the commercially built ones in 1990 - there have been some advances in driver/enclosure technology in 15 years!) and after hearing her Evanescence CD in Axiom stereo, suddenly she's on the bandwagon and I don't have any of the rationalization issues that other guys have with their significant others.

'Course... I also confine my twiddling to times when she's not around... when a movie goes on, I leave the remote on the table. (Rule #1 for a healthy HT relationship!)
