It is with mixed emotions that I share this information. I have sold my M60/VP100/QS8 set and am awaiting the arrival of a set of Onix Rockets (RS850/RSC200/RSS300).
I loved my Axioms and will miss them, but I made the change for a variety of reasons that I won't detail here, including a bit of input from the wife. I DO want to be very clear on one point - there is nothing wrong with the Axioms and I was very happy with them. I still think they represent one of the outstanding speaker values available today. I did not make the change because of any downside with the Axioms.
One bit of info I will share that contributed to this difficult decision is that we are empty-nesters and have been passively looking at downsizing for the last 8-10 months. We were not going to actively pursue it until after my daughter's wedding in August. Well,two weeks ago we stumbled across the perfect house at an unbelieveable price that, by coincidence, ALSO sits just off the 5th tee at the country club where I have a membership. Could NOT pass it up. This scenario has helped with the Axiom/Rockets decision.

Ray, the first and possibly most important point is that you're still required to be an active participant in this forum, Axiom owner or not. This place would be poorer in your absence.
The second thing I should mention is that it sounds like you've made a choice that's going to work well for you and your family. If a set of Rockets is part of the deal, screw anyone else who gives you grief.
Good luck with your move and your new purchases!

Congrats Ray,
I suppose we all wait for that infusion of cash or the right opportunity in life to upgrade. Yours sounds like a winner. A house on the golf course and new speakers. What more can a guy want? Please don't leave the Axiom board. I enjoy your contributions!
Cheers,
Shaun

Hmmmm, unless my long-ago catechism fails me, "confession" implies a sinful act and requires penance.
I'm thinking we can absolve Ray if he promises to do the following:
1. Continue to let his humor and wit shine on these forums
2. Be on call 24/7 for MX-700 support calls
3. Host the annual Axiom Atlantic BBQ and Golf Tournament
Congratulations, my friend.

You forgot:
4. Recite five Our Fathers and four Hail Marys.
I've always wondered if there's a secret formula that priests have to follow when determining the number of OFs or HMs to assign, or if it's comlpetely arbitrary.

I think the mortal sin here is that he sold the Axioms before the Rockets arrived so we're not going to get a real good A/B comparison review. I think we had to wait about four months for the last review and we never got all our questions answered
Let us know how the speakers work out.
Congrats on the new house !! Sounds like a real good catch...

That does it. I'm going to quit my job and go back to drinking full time. I am stunned.

You could probably give me pointers, then. My job is driving me to consider working towards full blown cirrhosis of the liver. You've gotta have goals, right?
