Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Custom entertainment center

That's dang beautiful!

You know spiff, now that you own a home, I think it is time you do something like that.....a custom entertainment center to hold a new TV.

I already spent a pile of cash on a new cabinet to hold my gear. I've already done the measurements, and a nice 62" DLP set will fit very nicely on top of it.

is it too early for a home equity loan?

LOL...

We're gone totally over budget, have run out of money, and still haven't finished fixing the things we wanted to.

The latest dilema is that we bought the hardwood needed to have the stairs redone in hardwood (they're carpeted now). We purchased the materials, and were given an estimate of approx. $500-600 to have it installed. I've called numerous people to have the work done, and the lowest bid so far is about $800. All the others have been over $1000. We simply don't have that extra cash right now! Grrrrrrrr...

curtis - what a great looking unit. (of course it would look better surrounded by Axioms ). It looks so.... California-y.

Jack - in you list of things your mother has seen (and endured), you forgot to add 50+ plus years of exposure to yourself!!! . Give mom a big 92 birthday kiss for me. That is an impressive accomplishment. It's too bad the body and the mind often don't keep up with us as we age. With the accumulated wisdom of the years, it would be a daunting combination. Let's hope for many more.

Thanks Ray, and Amen. The 50+ years of exposure to me is probably what caused her dementia. Mom says "tell him thank you." She's a doll!

Why didn't he get Axioms in a custom finish to match the entertainment center? I hear Ascends sound great, but their looks leave a lot to be desired. And with that entertainment center, one would think they would want a good looking speaker.

The only truly ugly Ascend speaker is the 170. Their 340's are actually a pretty decent looking speaker.

I believe they've started to offer some custom finishes as well.

I don't know snippy....maybe because they sound better? They will be using 170's as surrounds.

Actually...my Parents are retired and watch their money. My Mother did not complain of the looks, and they both love the sound. It is fun to see my Dad get the enjoyment he does from listening to his music(he burns CDs with the best of them)...it is also fun when my Mom tells me about him enjoying the music as well.
