I was looking at the speaker cables, and I was nto sure if you are ordering a pair, or just one? Anyone know? I wanted to order 9 feet of the speakers cable, I noticed it is not specified as a pair or not.
Thanks.
Hi JimmyTango,
The Axiom speaker cables are individually priced, so, for stereo, you'd need two 9-foot lengths, at $59 each x two, which, according to my ancient solar-powered calculator, would total $118, shipping included.
Regards,
You didn't
really have to use a calculator for that, didya?
I figured it was single, but didn't want to end up with extra cable I wouldn't need, so I had to make sure.
holy cow. the cables are WAYY more expensive than i though. heck. they dont seem THAT great.
gulp...wow. I though those prices were for a pair of speaker cables. Damn.
That means a 12' pair of cables is $130? To quote Chris Farley - "Holy Shnikes!"
The price seems fair IMO. Not the least expensive, but not overpriced AQ either (again IMO).
Alan- Any idea when the "banana" adapter will be available for the speaker cables? TIA
Heck. i only paid 79 bucks for a pair of 8' Type 4's
And you can get Slate for the prices of the axiom cables when its on sale
Are you implying that AQ is better?
I own 3 6' Mammoth Cables (L/C/R), 3 6' Gibralter cables (L/C/R), and 2 50' Slate Cables for the rears. The Mammoth was about 130 ea. and the Slate & Gibralter were both 50% off. also use AQ in the rest of my gear (VSD-4, YIQ-4, Viper interconnects & sub). Personally I like the Mammoth cables better, but I'm always on the lookout for a great "bang for the buck" budget cable, and IMO the Axiom line falls within that catagory. I would love to give those a shot in my or my wifes setup.
In reply to:

No..
But there doesnt seem to be anything SPECIAL about the axiom cables that seem bettter. Hey, at least the AQ is Long grain copper! ;D
I dont blame axiom for making them soo expensive. If people will buy them Heck! why not! It just doesnt seem like from the description for what you get its worth the price. Sure the jacket looks nice but if it meant 50 bucks more i could go without it. (if that were the case)
Ouch! I think I'll keep using Crappo Copper (TM) and use the savings to pop for some M3s in high gloss birdseye maple. I'll bet those sure would be purty!
When I first read your post I thought you said
"... and use the savings to pop for some MP3s in high gloss birdseye maple."
Man they have some weird names for music compression schemes....
Either it's the wine or sleep deprivation, but I keep screwing up all over the place - and you're making no sense whatsoever (or am I making no sense of you whatsoever?). You're the one expecting a baby right?...Muwahahaha...
Just caught it. "M3s". Watch out when that baby comes - the lack of sleep does weird things to you. I actually did get in trouble at work for running off at the mouth! ME! Imagine that.
