Well, the increasing value in my piggy bank finally met up with the decreasing cost of buying some Axiom speakers! It's been 9 months since I found this site. Now with Axiom adjusting their Canadian prices, knocking a point off the GST, AND throwing in an upgraded finish I was able to nip upgradeitis in the butt and go straight for a pair of M80s, VP150, and 4 QS8s, all in HG Cherry. These will be used with a STF-3 I got this spring and a new, lower end Denon reciever I got this summer for $150. I'm replacing some 11 year old Sony floorstanders and surrounds I got in high-school that were used pretty much exclusively for HT. It would be nice to get into music a bit more, so we'll see how much/ if any of a difference even my untrained ear can pick up with the new system! A few people have said the the factory outlet orders generally get shipped a bit quicker than the estimates. Does anyone have any good new about delivery dates with the custom finishes? It says 4 weeks or less to ship on the website. I think my GF is already getting annoyed with hearing me talk about the new speakers, so I came here. Thanks for listening!

She better get used to hearing you talk about your speakers because you will talk about them a lot more after you have them. The 80/150/QS8 combo is just plain outstanding. Seriously, if you have never heard them yet, your hears will explode with joy, trained or not! I have had them for many months now and it is still a total pleasure.
Welcome to the club and be patient!

Just a quick note Ft. Mac. is designated as an out of area destination so the delivery could take longer than usual once you receive the items shipped email from Noreen.

Your are going to have a killer set-up, rye_guy! The HG cherry finish is sweet, judging from the multitude of pictures I've seen.

You will be very, very pleased with your Axioms. And the STF-3 will serve you well for all but the deepest explosions and music. Just don't listen to an EP600 and you won't even realize what you're missing .

Rick,
one kidney and you'll be at 2 thirds... Unless that's how you got to 1 third, in which case I would advise against it.
