I ordered a pair of m22s and a vp100 from the outlet. I haven't found a blemish of any sort.

reyzor, it might help you to shorten the wait if you spent the time shopping and bought me a really, really expensive gift. Honestly, I'd be happy to support that.

New tile? That's it? You got off light.
Don't tell him to sell this one, Ray.

reyzor, Mike is absolutely correct. Your skills are to be admired. Tile for HT - I love that! I withdraw the suggestion of a gift. Rather, you should consider a plasma TV and give your wife.... new drapes. An expensive receiver and give her...... countertops. The permutations are endless. If I ever see you, you MUST sign my hat.

i guess i did it a little different.. i just havent bought any 'big ticket' item for myself in 4 years, so when i said "i wanna buy something", her only question was, "what color is it"!!! during these four years, she has worked part-time jobs while i put her thru school to get her masters, got 5th row dixie chicks tickets, a kick-a$$ computer(that i am on right now), a canon elan camera for her graduation, and new furniture for the bedroom..
so for me to ask for a HT, it was no big deal.. i am beginning to wonder who got the short end of the stick on this deal???

EXCUSE ME, ARE YOU THE SINGING BUSH??

Can you still get the extra 5% off factory outlet speakers if you waive the 30 day return.
I really dont want to waive the return but I'm sure these will sound better than what I got and the extra cost savings would be nice.

Ahem.
Well for one, the blemishes i have are not as bad as those very large pictures show.
There is only the one blemish on one QS8 and it is about 3/4 inch long which is not visible beyond 2 feet.
Since it is on the 'back' corner, when wall mounted, you would never notice it.
As for the VP150, with a grille on, you would never see the nick. Even with the grille off, my wife never spotted it. At this time, i can only ASSUME that is the flaw Axiom QA/QC picked out. I really did expect to see ALOT more in the way of flaws when i received my FO speakers.
Secondly, i really don't think clams have many emotions, if any at all. I have a friend i work with who is a clam specialist though, so i will ask him just to be sure.

Clearly it was her bigjohn.
You can both use the computer, the camera and the furniture.
But who really gets to tinker and build the HT eh?
