Actually, it seems to be mostly just the Japanese who flock to come and see Anne. Lately, also the Chinese. It's required reading in the Japanese school system and they are truly obsessed.

But we are not entirely just Anne based. We also have some of the nicest beaches north of the Caribbean (of which only 2-4 months of the year are really warm enough to enjoy), world rated golf courses sucking money from my taxes for some reason, and yet another tourism industry based entirely on boiling alive a certain large crustacean.

So, ya, I guess it does sound kind of odd when you put it all together.


With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

. . . the cleanest air . . . the loveliest early evening mists through the hills . . . the most beautiful red roads . . . the most charming people . . . the incomparable PEI potato chip dipped in Belgian chocolate . . . Ooops - drifted off course there! My computer wallpaper is from my last trip to PEI. It's such a gorgeous part of a very beautiful country.

And of course, for little Canadian girls like me, reading Anne was a right of passage! The thrill - the absolute thrill - when my family all loaded up into the car for a road trip out to PEI and a stop in Charlottetown to see the Anne play. I recently sent the series to a friend whose daughter just turned 10. L.M. Montgomery actually lived in Muskoka for a while and wrote a novel centered here as well. Funny coincidence.

I think Ken just added a last-minute side trip to his drive back from Indiana.

I believe Axiom could be also working on some little brothers for this new speaker line. I mean it only makes sense in the progression of things. Too try to develop both a center, and surrounds using the same engineering that went into the loud speakers. If that is the case, a company won't generally tip it's hand until at least, they have a good working proto-type. In most cases, it would be even later than that. Closer to a point to where they could almost start to mass produce the new product. So does Axiom have this in works? Only time will tell.


With out Jesus Christ there can be no Redemption or Salvation.

I wonder what the 4th package is, maybe the 4th is the hardware ect for the towers?

I think mine will be a few days, Jeff is cutting me a template for my outrigger project. I'm more than happy to wait, considering Jeff and Ian are going out of their way to help me.

Yes, Shawn. I second that you should take photos wink .. OR, have your wife take them.. Actually, that may be a better idea... You will not want to stop to take pictures....

One photo i think would be helpful Shawn, would be a shot of your LFR's next to your M80's, it seems like this would be a good point of reference. I will take a photo of my LFR's next to my M60's when they arrive.

Maybe someone at the factory could take a photo with the LFR's in the center, with an M80 on one side and a M60 on the other.. Reading random threads, everyone kind of wonders the size.. They are 47 1/2" tall, which is 10 inches taller than the M60's and 8" taller than the M80's.

But, as they say, a photo is worth 1,000 words grin

I didn't have an M60 at hand, but here's a grainy cell phone shot I took of an LFR1100 next to an M80 for size comparison to send home to my fam:



(I know, other people send baby pics!)

The barrel distortion is from my phone, not the speaker seeming to 'swell in the top end'!
