You lost me after "oui", Luc.

BlueJays1,
No wonder I'm broke these days driving a 4 year old Chevy compact model.

Hi Dakkon,
I once purchased a brand new dark red 1979 Jaguar XJS and had the European head lights kit installed . . . what a beauty ! I kept it for a full two years but could enjoyed it only a total of one single year or so because of the multiple lengthy periods of time it had to go back to the dealer's repair shop. The 12 cylinder engine had to be rebuilt twice to give you an idea. The dealer who was also a Saab dealer once loaned me a Saab and the damned car failed; it had to be towed back to the shop as well. But that XJS what a superb car it was . . . when operating !



it must have been in the late 60's that a friend went to a Jag dealer in Montreal. he asked the salesman about the reliability problems Jag was having with their cars.
the salesman's answer was: we sell the name, sir.

no need to say he did not buy the name.
it's a wonder they're still in business.

They may also have taken a sales hit temporarily since some buyers may now be waiting to see what’s coming before buying something.

I knew my comment would probably generate much consternation among some people and it worked. Especially for those who’ve chosen to read into it things that weren’t said. This says a lot about people and group dynamics . . . that the Axiom forum (members) as a group are not different in kind only degree from AV123, AVS, Audioholics . . . .

Sorry you all feel like I’m pissing on your parade. JC deftly redirected this back to the threads original topic, interesting some people couldn’t leave it that way.


I wasn't picking on you, so I hope you don't take my comments in that light. I just made an observation, just like you did...

It's quite amusing really. Kinda reminds me of my day job with my direct reports. I listen to their complaints, make adjustments to sooth their gripes, to only get more grief from others. It's a never ending cycle.

People have also been bitching on this sight about Axiom not offering a "premium" line of speakers and that they need to step up their game. It sounds like they are about to get just what they've been asking for. My crystal ball tells me that there will be a flood of folks finding something to bitch about with the new line after they are released. - The wheel just keep turning and we will get to see the same cog, over and over again. It certainally isn't worth getting upset about.
