Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Anyone with speakers in Mansfield Beech?

Hey Bigjohn,

darn...I guessed I was so excited at the pictures I didn't even noticed it wasn't your nick. What do you REALLY have by the ways?

I've got the Beech as well...

Black looks cheap on speakers (in my opinion), the Boston Cherry was a possibility but my fiancee didn't like the colour and the Maple look too light - so Beech it was... I also got tan grills for a bit of a retro look (though ther're only on the QS4 woofers).

I've heard alot of ppl talk about this beech (and i've seen it now), but i have to say, some of the finishes i saw at the Factory really stood out. Apparently Buffalo Oak is a top seller, although i didn't care for it.
The Vermont Maple is really the finish that i think my wife and i would have wanted the first time around but the Boston Cherry will merrily suffice.
The other two finishes of note are the Sorrel Pear and Heartland Maple. Really amazing looking finishes. I was very impressed and Amie can correct me if i'm remembering this incorreclty but i believe the Pear was another latest top seller.
Black? Bah.

I have QS8s in Beech w/ gold grills. They blend fantastically with my decor. The front speakers are all black and... what can you say? They blend fantastically with all the techno stuff at the front of the room. If you're certain you're going w/ Axioms then order like 10 finish samples and apply the deposits to your purchase price.

bigjohn...nice setup...what brand of tv stand do you have? I'm looking for something like that but local CC or BB doesn't care it.

thanks.

Some pics of my Beech setup.

Brent, what a beautiful setup. Just a nice, uncluttered (all brand new!) HT room to lose yourself for awhile. Th Panny TV looks great. I have a 50" Sony LCD in the main room, but the 27" Sony CRT (10 yrs. old) is crying out for replacement and the Panny is at the top of the list. I've been told that the EDTV Plasma's don't give much up in comparision to the HDTV. (I haven't started to look around in earnest because I would likely end up buying something!). Anyhow - looks great. Congratulations.
