Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions No Redbook CD play on bargain 2900

Well, I'm back, and VERY Happy!
They had three more to choose from in the Outlet, and we took a couple and hooked them up to make sure that they were working fine.
So I now have my 2900 hooked up and running. Playing everything I have thrown at it so far.
Problem solved.
Whooo!!!
BTW, that leaves two more there (the price on the others was $399.00, but they did not quibble on the $50 diff trading mine out) so if anyone wants to call and see if they will ship out of the Outlet, give 'em a shot! Just make sure you don't get the one that will not play RBCD's!
Thanks again to all for your input!

I'm so glad it all worked out for you in the end. Though it took a little time, you got a great piece of machinery for a stupendous price.

"How convenient is THAT? I'd love to be that close to those folks. Great opportunity to find some real deals and handle the equipment rather than rely on long distance communications / shipping."
Yeah, it is just one of the nice things about living in
C-Ville. I have used the Outlet to built two systems for myself, one for my sister, one for my brother, and a couple for friends. But when I got the Axioms, and started looking at what to do next, I realized that I may have finally outgrown them for my own needs. With the exception of this wonderful 2900, I do not see myself going across the street from Yamaha to Denon, and they have stopped carrying Yamaha altogether. And after living with the Axioms for a month or so now, I know I'll never go back to Polks, as much as I loved my old ones for so many years.
But then again, they do sell some very nice TV's!
SLAP, SLAP, SLAP!
Oh, I can't even go THERE! My Toshiba 16X9 direct view is only 6 months old, and it is the perfect size for our viewing area.
Bad Boy! Down! Down!

Thanks Jack!
Have I mentioned lately how much I really and truely enjoy being a part of these forums? You guys are great!
Not to get too touchy - feely, but I'm already kind of weepy about my 2900! ;-)
Two months ago I had never even heard of Axiom, and now, because of these pages I have the system of my dreams!
So Ray, tell me a little more about that Remote you like so much!
;-)

Oh god, not another MX700 post!

Hooray for SB!

$399??

That is a steal!!!!

Now, that was funny.

TjB,

I am so pleased to hear about your Crutchfield experience. Every time I hear their name, it involves this kind of tale of Customer Service. That's great!

BTW - I sent you a PM relative to the remote rather than drag everybody through it. Most folks are big fans but one or two of the guys (I won't mention your name Ken ) are suffering from a bad case of "remote envy".

Enjoy your 2900 my friend. Boy, I hope somebody here can take advantage of the $399 specials Crutchfield has.

Apparently the $399.99 price is a cash and carry deal. Just to be sure I have emailed Crutchfield about the price descrepancies, b&m vs online. I think $195 is like steep for shipping and handling. Man, I could get MX-700 for the price difference. My living room could be a Shrine to Ray. Your right, Ray, we do suffer from remote envy. I would be the first to admit that.
