I have a new problem now. I can't decide on the colors. I might have to get one of each.

Great looking product - congratulations on all of your hard work. The M3 heart of the system should really sound fine.
The tremendous capabilities of this unit really highlights what kind of a dinosaur I am. I still play only CD/SACDs & have never downloaded nor streamed music ever.
I wouldn't know where to begin!! So I'll start with one burning question. Since I have such a large collection of CDs, could my favourite few be just copied to a USB Stick & played that way? I realize that the files would be large & would eat up USB space pretty quickly.
Any hints on getting into downloading or streaming music (I can't believe that I'm making such a leap!!) would be appreciated...
TAM Hey TAM, Thanks for the kind words! It's a VERY simple process to "rip" your CDs and transfer the files to a USB stick. Plug the stick into the front of the AxiomAir and you're good to go. I'm a big fan of a program called dBPoweramp. They have a free trial and it will rip your CD to any file format you like, along with setting up all the CD information and the cover art. If you use something like dBPoweramp you can convert your CD to FLAC or ALAC which will result in much smaller files, and you will lose no fidelity. One other great capability of the AxiomAir is the ability to play FREE webradio stations. There are thousands available in any musical genre you can name, and many have excellent sound quality.

How does the AxiomAir connect to a network computer? or NAS? am I setting it up in the same wifi and then putting in my login credentials using CIFS or SMB or AFP?? You mention on the kickstart about UPnP but that would be a method to stream to the unit from another user interface device. When I am sitting outside 'chillin' I'd still want the best sound quality possible. Does the Air act as the central processor pulling the music from the sources, or is it just a receiving device with a speaker/amp to simply play the music? Hi Matt, AxiomAir connects to your NAS or shared network drive through SMB/CIFS or NFS if you're a Linux user. One of the great features of AxiomAir is that it is BOTH a music server, and a receiver. So you can connect it to your entire music library when you are in the house, with AxiomAir indexing and serving up anything in that library, and then go outside by the pool and stream some tunes from your phone directly to the system. In most cases out there wireless speakers are either servers or receivers...ours is both! Thanks, Andrew

Damn it, Andrew. Why weren't the top colors implemented in software?

Are those the die cast high-powered woofers I spy in there?

So I am to take it that if you get your $75k in backing, that you will make this product. Over the past hour, I have seen the pledge number double, and if it keeps up, you'll get that before the day it through.

Andrew, the only thing missing from this little beauty is high fidelity bass. I understand the physics but at least let the first 40Hz of usable bandwidth escape to my ears through a subwoofer jack. It would be so sweet if you offered that and even more sweet if you freed the woofers from that duty when a sub is plugged in. Pretty please...I haven't asked for anything from you guys for years:-). I'll pay more!

Feature Suggestion: For people with teenagers, it might be worth considering having a maximum volume that could be unlocked with a pin. That way, it only gets as loud as you want, but could be unlocked when you leave the house!
