I run a dog and cat boarding facitilty here in Australia. Last Wednesday I ordered, on line a dog crate, from Melbourne, which is about 550 miles away. They told me about 10 days for delivery.
The next day I ordered my Epic 80-500s from Axiom. That was Thursday evening. Today is Monday. I got the call today from Fedex, they should be here tomorrow! That's like 3 woking days or even less - from half way round the world! I am blown away!!!I have been tracking them all the way. BARRIE, ON, MISSISSAUGA, ON, MEMPHIS, TN, HONOLULU, HI, ALEXANDRIA AU and then HERE!!!! Unreal service, I am so impressed. I'll update when they arrive. Can't wait!!

They wired them with Monster Cable so they could travel faster than the speed of light. Enjoy!

Since they passed through Honoluly, they might get a nice tan for a better finish!

Be sure to carefully follow the installation manual.
1. Once delivered, let your packages sit inside until they reach room temperature. 2. Unpack all speakers from their respective box's. 3. Follow user manual while wiring up all speakers. 4. Eat a large meal and go to the bathroom. 5. Turn on the music and enjoy the music.
It may seem unnecessary to you right now, but be sure to do step 4 before moving on to step 5. Trust me, once you turn on the music you will not want to move from your listening position for several days. So a full belly and empty bladder will be priceless!!!

Micah, you forgot to mention an important step...
Take undecipherable Denon manual, remove pages 1-3, fold up carefully to form nice cone-shaped dunce hat in order to be in character when reading and cursing the rest of said manual.
Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.

Thanks everyone. I recieved the VP150, the QS8s and the EP500 yesterday, but I only got the M80s, this afternoon, which made me a bit anxious. For some reason, FedEx held them in Sydney for an extra day, but they arrived safely in the end.
When I finally got set up, and I use that term loosely, because I don't think I am near understanding what the potential is, I can say Micah, I took all your advice, particularly about using the bathroom, mainly because my Denon instructions gave me the appropriate urge to use the bathroom. Anyway, you were right, the sound is friggin unreal!!
I think the most accurate advice is from Adrian. I have a Denon 3310. I got very frustrated! I did a lot of cursing! I got so confused that when I finally got picture and sound, and then with my fiddling, lost it again and eventually got it back and surround sound, I said that's it, I stopped and watched Star Trek, which was unreal. More reading of the manual tomorrow.
Alan, thanks for your help. I went to a local store and listened to some Paradigm Studio 100s as a comparison. The guy there has phoned me 3 times thinking he has a sale. I'm glad he didn't get one. They (the Axioms)sound fantastic!!
