Yes and part of the process will be if the CS will be solved as it is a problem right now....but will it be solved in the next 6 months so that if need to speak with someone will be able to get a reply within a day or 2 which it seems is a problem right now!!

Got a call from Andrew ( Fletcher ) today Re: my za-1000. All good to fire it up. ( I sent him pics of the internals with the cover off for inspection).

I’m listening to it right now with my Denon DCD-2700 CD player. So far so good. It works. I’m only a few songs deep but it sounds really great.

Will report back more on my the unit and it’s sound quality after listening more but it’s quite clear and smooth. Things seem more separated into individual sounds and instruments and positions. I’m listening with the sub off. Just the m60’s.

Anyway, I had a little chat with Fletcher and they are painfully aware of the CS situation and are focussed on catching up and returning service to the previous levels. Training new staff to pick up the slack. He went as far to say they plan to step it up even higher with CS. Additionally they are working towards building more things in house as well. He said they are also still playing catch-up from Covid supply chain issues ( which I believe as every market was hit including ones I work in ). Add Bryston to the mix plus a new doosan, Black Friday and upcoming Xmas, they’re busy and not going anywhere. ( in a good way!). Suffice to say from me, faith restored in Axiom. I told him most of the forum pundits had their back and are supportive. I’d say for those waiting , be patient, enjoy the great products they make and be assured that Axiom is on the up and up.

Change takes time and courage and it sounds like they are going for it while remaining close to their ethic of making great products in Canada.

End of fanboy rant. smile

On Every Street, sounding great!

I agree with you otherwise it would be a very easy decision upcoming with my comparison!!Either the axioms best the paradigm's or not.....however I do like the way Axiom has treated myself & people I have recommended to them to over the years.So while it does come down to SQ as primary factor history with Axiom is going to play a role in my choice.....later today will have both brands here to begin my tests will report back early next week!! smile

Looking forward to your comparison. My dad had given me a set of older paradigm speakers but they didn't compare to the m100s. The imaging and soundstage was vastly improved with the Axioms. However, you will be comparing two current models so I'm definitely curious to see how that pans out.

The question is, will Bruce be comparing imaging and soundstage?

Also very interested to hear your impressions SGuy. I’ve long held Paradigm up as a great value and good sound quality. I’ve never heard their top line though.

And Canes like you, my dad had Paradigm over the years and I agree, compared to my m60ti his monitors do not compare at all.

I have no doubt that Paradigm makes good speakers so this will be a great comparison StereoG.

The Paradigms under comparison are not top of line. They may actually be better-sounding than top of line though.

Oh yeah I know. The 800f is a fairly apples to apples build type and price comparison. I’m just saying in general I’ve never heard top of the line Paradigms. But as you suggest, higher price doesn’t necessarily mean higher sonic prowess or better in general. Just higher price.
