My 3 sets of Axiom speakers & Axiom stands are 'B Stock'.
With mine, flaws if there are any, are virtually invisible. I wondered why they were classed as 'B Stock' in the first place. Axiom is quite anal about this & perhaps they use big magnifying glasses during their inspection process.
Good way to save some bucks IMHO as it is to buy a HT package...

I agree, just leave the grilles on and forget about it.
With out Jesus Christ there can be no Redemption or Salvation.
