Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo ISO Looking for an Axiom DSP1 for LFR1100's

I just acquired a pair of Axiom LFR1100's which unforfonately have the DSP Digital Sound Processor missing. I need the basic DSP (the DSP1) which is used between the Preamp and the power amps. Can anyone help?
I contacted Axiom and a new DSP is a big $ hit so I'm looking for "pre-owned"
Thanks in anticipation

Please explain how this can possibly be. Did you get shafted by the seller?

Man, I love your part of BC. I drove through all the little towns and what used to be mining villages and felt the ghosts of old-time miners talking to my soul. I had everyone young and old admiring my 42 year old camper van and gave rides to teens and old codgers and none of that ever happens where I live.

I can't imagine anyone having a DSP without speakers ... but then I can't imagine someone selling an LFR without the DSP (Unless it's a scammer who wants to sell you the missing DSP separately for some extra $$)

I assumed you contacted the seller ... if they don't have it (or wants more money for it) and won't take the speakers back then you probably have a fraud case against them.

If you paid it in anything but cash (gift cards and bitcoin or any other untraceable means) I'd talk to that financial institution. If you bought it though ebay, amazon, or any of those sites they might also handle it for you. I'd also file a police report (It might help down the line).

Otherwise, you can try someone higher up at Axiom ... I'm sure they will help a bit on the money side but it's probably still going to be expensive (as these thing a fairly high quality and assembled in Canada).

I hope you find a reasonable solution, Rich

Maybe "acquired" means he hawked them? Dude, did you pilfer those LFRs from some rich dude? So cool. Crooks need audio too. Next time you need to take the DSP too. And maybe an amp or two.

I reply to both of you. I knew what I was getting into. No I didn't "steal" them nor was I scammed. The Lady I bought them from does not know anything about stereos and stuff. I tried to educate her on the missing DSP. but It could not be found. It turns out her Husband is incapacitated with Demetia and the where abouts now is unknow by the family... . Apparently there's more stdff in storage but any chance of further searches is out of my hands. Hence my cry for help

Aw geez! That's actually a better story than scamming or stealing.

I see this as Axiom's fault. If they designed the LFRs with dementia in mind, we customers wouldn't have to put up with problems like these.

So here's what I'd do. I'd send an e-mail to Axiom explaining the situation. And make sure you blame them. But say you are a kind and forgiving soul so you'll give them a chance to rectify their problem. Then ask them for their best trade-in price on a pair of active LFRs.

I have them and so does Rich. I love mine. Rich doesn't but he did say they're the best speakers he's ever heard.

Mojo, I get the feeling that money may have some meaning here ...
Farthings ... excuse my friend ... he's kind of crazy but keeps us entertained here ...

The DSP might still show up. It's worthless without the speakers ... I'd print out or email the DSP pictures off the website and give it to them.
That way if they find it they will know what it is ... then wait and see if it turns up. If you paid money for them they should agree to take the speakers back if not found.

In the meantime you can see what Axiom can do for you on getting a DSP at some reasonable number ... Good Luck ...

Well Rodney, if you need cheering up, here's some entertainment from the Farthing land.
