My M22's are at home and I'm at work. Anyone been fired for paying too much attention to speakers. My wife called this afternoon and told me my speakers were at home. How can I possibly concentrate now:) I will be up late tonight.
Plan on getting the VP150 and QS8's when budget will allow.

Thanks to eveyone for their advice.

You are really not looking well at all. Do you have a 24 hr flu or something? Maybe its the 48 hr flu.
What ever it is I think you need a couple days off for the good of the other employees.

You know, now that you mention it I am feeling a little sick. It must be the new strain of axiom flu. Once I get everything set up I will let you know what I think.

You might find that one or two days off are not enough. I got my M60ti speakers a couples of weeks ago and then I bought an EP500. Now, my main activity. except for work, is listening to music, reading posts, buying cd's and thinking of what I could buy next. This stuff is addictive. Be careful!!!

You think that's bad?

*go back to June 23rd, 2004*

Ring Ring!

Sean: Good afternoon, IMSS South, Sean speaking?
Caller: You suck!
Sean: Excuse me?
Caller: Your damn speakers are here.
Sean: *grins* sweet!
Caller: I hate you! There's so many boxes, and Mom says they're too big!
Sean: No they're not, what a spiffy day this has been!
Caller: No, they're to big, I'm going to break them..... and you SUCK! *click*
Sean: *snickers to self and hangs up phone*

That's right, in the middle of my work day I was informed that not just my M60's, but my VP150, QS8's, 175 ft of Axiom Speaker Wire, 25" Axiom Component Video cable, a 6' optical cable, 6' coaxial cable, 12' stereo audio cable, 35' subwoofer cable, and three Full Metal Brackets... were all waiting for me at the door.

I almost went nuts.... then there was my subwoofer, but that was a bitch because of customs + shipping, having to fax things, but when it showed up, oh baby....

My room STILL smells like Axiom, they have a certain smell about them, and I loves it so very much! Only thing I miss is the novelty feeling. I still love my speakers to death, but I'm used to them being here now, coming home and seeing speakers mounted on my ceiling was such an adrenaline rush.

EDIT: Did I mention I had to wait 2 weeks with my Denon AVR-3805 sitting on the floor to set it up, then another 1.5 weeks til Dad had time to help me run the wire? They were sitting right there, in boxes.... *drools*... I was in pure agony the day my subwoofer came and Dad was away on business, I called around frantically trying to find someone to help me move it downstairs...

In reply to:

Someone needs to bottle that vinyl, MDF and glue smell so I can spray it around my room once in awhile.

I really, honestly miss that smell.

I betcha a big, new EP500 would smell up my room for awhile.

Anyone ever wonder if there's, ummm, "something" in the glue that makes people crave buying more speakers? And how come I always got the munchies when I was listening to my speakers?

THEY'RE AT HOME AND I'M AT WORK! (M3s).
Man I already committed to a 4pm meeting so now I can't wiggle my out! I should've checked earlier!

Anyone knows if these speakers need "breaking in" ?
