Thanks guys for all the input, I may just have to go check them out sometime. As far as Sushi, he was around when I first started posting to this forum, to bad good people like that take long vacations, hopefully he will come back and visit soon. I believe he was one of the people that got me interested in Front Projection, it is the only way to go if you truely want a movie theater experience in your home. Plus, it is a lot easier to send a 12lb unit in for warranty, knock on wood, than a larger projection tv or plasma.

Back in the late 'something or other year I was actually attending a public university in Minnesota. The guy across the hall from me in the dorm had a pair of these powered by one of those classic Pioneer silver faced receivers. He liked to brag about his speakers compared to what the rest of the guys on the floor were running. OK, it was a party dorm. I always assumed the real reason he owned them wasn't because they were better, but rather, they were manufactured in his hometown. To make a small story even shorter, this dude eventually became irritated because everyone was mocking his flat speakers. One day he cranked these pups and immediately blue one of them. I guess they just couldn't handle that monster Pioneer. I don't know if they are good or bad, but they look weird. It's the only time in my life I've ever seen a puff of smoke come out of a speaker.

The last time I saw sushi, he had asked me to bring my Maggies over so that he could hear them in his own environment. I lugged them over to his place and we listened for several hours and he indicated to me that he was going to get the 3.6Rs. I never heard from him again. I and others on this board emailed him a few times but he didn't respond (at least to my emails). I'd really like to know what happened to him.

I love my Axioms. I also love mwc's Magnepans. I could listen to either for hours and hours. As a matter of face, yesterday I did listen to mwc's Maggies for hours and hours.
If you've never heard Maggies, definitely do so.

I wondered if you'd be getting over to see Mike while you were down there. Guess that answers the question.
