wow, well, that was a very interesting discussion. I have to agree, Axiom packaging does need improving but that is what insurance is for and there is no doubt Axiom is making out on that end. I don't think that will last forever though, but you have to ride that train as long as you can.
As far as finishes go, I got the piano as well, on my white EP600 and one entire side was accidentally left sand paper rough. Mentioned when received and sent pics last week, hope to receive an email soon with an appropriate response. Still love the EP600, finish doesn't change the sound. One thing I love about Axiom more than anything is there willingness to take care of their customers. They really do go over the top when they make mistakes like that.
Lots of speakers from many
manufactures...mostly Axiom

Not sure I ever mentioned this but my actives and their subs are a matched pair. The walnut grain patterns on my subs match. On the actives, they are symmetrical. The actives are marked left and right and if I switch them, they don't look as good. I struggled with wood and finish. Ian convinced me walnut natural satin was going to be timeless. He was right. I mean, just look at them. Freakin'gorgeous! BTW, the sides, backs and tops are matched too. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/WdCc2XtB/20201018-084651.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/Th6GL7QG/20201018-084719.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/FY7Q52Fb/20201018-084732.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/MvZStnhF/20201018-084746.jpg)

Trevor, agreed the M5s are very nice. I am curious how, or if, you are taming the bass. I've had no luck with bass taming for M3s, M5s or M100s in anyone's room. My buddy has his M100 ports plugged in his living room. He loves them BTW.
M2 bookshelf and OW, M50 and actives are no problem. Ditto with 160 and QS10. Bass is great. No bloom. Tight and crisp. I set up speakers using my routine. Work with the room. Remember the few posts that made me seem nuts? Perfecto. https://www.axiomaudio.com/boards/ubbthreads.php/topics/436576/re-speaker-setup#Post436576

That is a very, very good post. I think next time you visit your brother, you just need to bring some of your holy water.

Not sure I ever mentioned this but my actives and their subs are a matched pair. Those look great. My 600s are also natural walnut but the grain selection is so so ... just can not compare

LOL, I'm a big help, eh? Maybe you can print out the images and paste them on your speakers.
