I agree with Matt. That being said I remember all the way back in history to the long forgotten spring/ summer of 2014 when Axiom was selling v4 at v3 prices. I bought LFR1000's, VP180HP, QS8's, etc at a very good price point. I believe Axiom gave their customers, old and new, a rare gift in the audio business. As an aside, can anyone see reference to a ten year warranty on the website?. I'm the guy who asked them to stop advertising the LFR dsp as having a 12v trigger.

I am curious to what external amp that you are using with yours? I have an Anthem MCA50 that seems to work quite well, except for a grounding incompatibility with the DSP. Seems that the two don't like each other with RCA cables so I ended up having to move to XLR and the problem went away, I didn't really notice that the DSP didn't have a 12v trigger. I have only just got a pre-amp that has the 12v trigger outs.
Anthem: AVM60, Fosi DAC-Q5
Axiom: ADA1500, LFR1100 Actiive, QS8, EP500, M3, M3comp, M5

On the subject of price increases, I just researched getting an air gun from a Canadian online dealer. His new stock that is coming in from the manufacturer in Germany has just increased in price about 10% due to exchange rates & higher shipping costs.
Therefore, I bought an instock 'higher end' model for almost the same price as the new stock 'standard' model.
It seems that price changes are a fact of life due to the pressures caused by the global economic situation...

I have my LFR's, VP180HP, and 2 QS8's bolted up to an Arcam P777. Love the sound with the Axioms as I wanted to feed the LFR's the most clean power I could afford. It specs out close to the Anthem A5. I like modern/classic rock at SPL's that make the instruments sound "real" and the Arcam provides! I'm using unbalanced connections with no ground noise. May go to balanced when my new room is built in our new house this fall. Then I'll have no less than 4 QS'8 I'll use my Arcam P1000 amp for those. It was able to drive the LFR's also but sounded a little lean. Brad

The way our economy is going, i would expect prices to fluctuate for some time.
I don't recall the original price of our M60s, but somehow i have around $1k in my head.
Overall i know there has been a price increase. Our system is essentially the Epic60-350 bundle which presently is priced at just under $4000.
I know with 100% certainty that our entire setup was $3400 after all was said and done (taxes, shipping was free).
Difference of... $600 between then and now.
It's like that Price is Right game, Then and Now.
Anyone still watching that?
The kids love it.

I know have less purchasing power than I did three years ago.
thank you Harper
Amen to that. Useless t[t of a government. You know it's bad when scientists actually have to comment on politics. It's even worse when you see them march on Parliament in a historically unprecendented action. I guess all us PhDs must be wrong though. The Reformacon supporters keep telling us we are. We just is so stupidz.

"I remember when a coke was a nickel." Time marches on friends. Ha! Children! I remember when it had cocaine in it! I'm kidding, I'm not THAT old, but until the 60's, Coke and aspirin together created a buzz. Re: nickel--- used to be an ingredient in baby powder. Nice. And I remember when Coke used to taste good!

Coke still tastes good...if you buy it in a bottle. It's never tasted good coming out of plastic or tin.
