People who sell their speakers substantially cheaper. Scroll down for their newer stuff.

Has anybody heard of these guys? Looks suspicious to me. They didn't even bother to put a seperate picture beside the different bookshelf speakers, and they mentioned the M22ti twice. But they're even cheaper than the factory outlet, and they're new, so that warrants them a looksee IMO.

Just a heads up for those interested.

what's with the "Se" at the end of most of the product numbers?

I'd say that they're still clearing out old inventory, and that old inventory is pretty old. The QS4s don't even look vaguely similar to the current ones (are those old QS2s?) Could be worth it, might not be.

This is the funniest quote from that site:

"Vertigo Online is a new way of buying Bose, Sony, Pioneer, Klipsch, Denon, Sharp, and many more Hi End Audio components over the internet"

"Hi end?" Bose? SHARP?!!! hahahahahahahahaha

Those folks also sell some of the older Axiom stuff and appear to be more reputable.

Like Can Hi-Fi, Vertigo seems to carry mostly the older models other than the M2, and M80. The M22 don't even have the correct picture.
I'd check it out fully before buying.

One thing to consider is I remeber Alan saying in a previous post ( discussing the M80 freq specs ) that Axiom does continually tweak/improve on their speakers. I would think it unlikely you'd get the most up to date spec of any of the Axiom line unless buy from them direct. Remember Axiom hasn't had a distribution network for some time so its unlikely these, even the M80's to be at the most current spec.

Cheeers, Jag

That was a hilarious quote. I try and ignore the marketing.

Thanks jag.

Canadian Hi Fi is on the straight up. I have been in that store numerous times. If anybody buys from them, you will not have a problem. At one time they carried the Axiom line but have since gone with another line. All they are doing right now is dumping what they have in Axiom products. As for the other link, I have no idea what is up with that one. Seems kinda cheap but who knows.

I think Vertigo selling Axioms was mentioned a year ago on the forum.

I went through the checkout process with a pair of M80s. They're $900 EACH - total cost of $1800 for a pair + shipping. Oh well.

That makes sense, its more in line with their prices on other things.
