I ordered my Epic 80-800 in the standard black vinyl oak finish.
Have received them and they look just perfect. Thanks for all the advice.

No photos? No reviews of the sound?

After you get them dialed in, please report back your thoughts. You might just be saying they sound better, than they look.


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

OK, I've had my system for some months now. What can I say, that all of you haven't said many times already? Our Axioms are great sounding speakers. Last night I played Phil Collins "Live in Belin" DVD. I couldn't stop smiling. The 5.1 audio made me feel like it was 1990 again and I was sitting on the hill at Pine Knob enjoying a live show. Yeah, they sound better than they look. When I have a moment I will try to post photos.
My thanks to all of you.
Jeff

So I’ve had my system almost 8 years. It hasn’t changed much since the original purchase. I’ve added another sub (12” 250 watt JBL) that I took out of my living room system to the EP800. Decided I needed to try out a pair of M3s as rear surrounds, decided I liked the QS8s there better. Tried the M3s as front wides, noticeable difference in soundstage. But then again a pair of M80s and a Vp180 give an excellent soundstage in my Theater space, and they’re v3s. Still using my Outlaw 7700 amp and Marantz SR6006 and Oppo 93. All great equipment. All in all I’m quite happy with the sound quality in my Theater. Each time I play a Blu-ray film or concert or play games on the PS3 I am reminded just how good everything sounds together.
So, what’s my point? Way to go Axiom! I’m still a happy customer

thanks Jeff

This is an older thread but was hoping to see some postings of some of the custom colours that people have ordered. You can try to search through the Axiom Gallery pages but the search is painfully slow. The images on the Axiom speaker pages are a bit small and some don't look like images of real photos (check out the Walnut in Espresso on a speaker page vs. the image of one on the Refurb or BStock pages and you will see how different they look).

We might be looking for some colours that are similar but in different woods. If anyone can point the direction to some real world photos of some of these, it would be helpful (or just start posting, linking images here which would be helpful for anyone looking).

Walnut
--Natural - (is there a semi gloss option or just satin vs piano gloss?)
--Espresso - semi gloss?
--Bordeaux
--Caramel

Cherry
--Caramel
--Chestnut (i think i saw some images of one of these on the Canuck Mart pages)
--Bordeaux

Rosewood
--Bordeaux
--Chestnut
--Natural (i think i have seen some of these in the Gallery pages)

Maple
--Bordeaux
