Hi : Well as I type this my "new" M-60's and VP150 are on their way courtesy "Fordperfect" a.k.a Wayne from Burlington as I bought his older 350 subwoofer and at that time discussed about buying his M-60,VP-150. I finally sold my Mirage 890i's and center channel on Saturday.So I'm part of the club!!!

Another congrats, Bruce. Now you need to find your new digs, and build a nice HT!

Congrats, enjoy the speakers.

The M60/VP150 setup is killer, you're in for a fun week! Congrats \:\)

It was so nice to meet the both of you. I'm sure the speakers are going to give you many, many years of pleasure, enjoy them.

Now I've got to start working on a replacement.

So what is on your list for replacements?

Very good, Bruce; we've been waiting four years for you. I'm sure that you'll enjoy the sound from the Axioms that Wayne has undoubtedly given tender loving care, and just think: you don't have to worry about "break-in"! It's also a bit ironic that when you asked a couple years ago about how long the speakers last, Wayne replied that they'd last longer than he would!

Yes enquiring minds want to know what the M60's/VP150 are to be replaced with? As one Axiomite is born, is another being laid to rest? I could see the upgrade from M60's to M80's, but seeing as how you're also selling your VP150... well there is no upgrade from the VP150. So it seems you're getting out of the Axiom family to me.

Hey, not necessarily true. Maybe he's going for a vertical center.

Or just changing finish and wanted the speakers all the same thus allowing the VP150 to be let go as well.

Oh, good point. He could also have been privately contacted by Axiom to try out a prototype of the new center channel.

You mean the VP200? It would go nice with the M100s. Also replacing the QS8s. One of you is correct, I'll explain later.

And thus the mystery begins... BWahahhaha... \:\) You got me hooked.
Posted By: Micah Re: I've finally done it!!! - 05/19/09 04:02 PM
If there are M100's, VP200's & QS9's on the horizon, I'm going to be aweful jealous!!!


I'm also going to have to come up with a story to tell the little lady on why I'm packing up all our new speakers (save for the EP80 of course) and sending them back to Axiom!

Sweetie, you know it's the strangest thing. Axiom just had a factory recall and I need to send these all back. They are sending me all new speakers. I of course just need to pay the freight. How much? Oh, just about $2k, that's all. ;\)

I remember you getting the custom M3's and wanting to replace the M60's with a custom finish as well...after a quick search does this still hold true?

Custom Finish?

Quote -
I love the look of the Cherry Chestnut Semi Gloss finish so much that I will be also replacing my M60s and QS8s. Not sure what the M60s will be replaced with as my life now is in “total change mode”. I do know however that it will be an Axiom product.

Congrats Hay, you cracked it. I've already got the VP150 & EP350 in Cherry Chestnut and will be replacing the M60s and QS8s with the same finish.
