dude you can rain on my parade anytime New2Axiom as mentioned, click on the Store link at the top, and on that page there is a Factory Outlet link. These speakers are every bit brand new like the regular stock. Axiom's quality control process in manufacturing is very picky, so if a speaker has even a microscopic blemish or nick, off the the FO it goes. Technically, they are the same and have the same warranty. I had a poll awhile back to try to find out how many people take this route, and it appears the majority do. I'm still trying to find what is wrong with my speakers.

Thanks. Just from what I have read around here, it looks like I should have ordered from the FO as well. Unfortunately, I thought 13 weeks, or whatever it was at the time, was too long to wait. Most people say that it only takes a fraction of the time offically posted.

Just to clarify, any difference between regular stock, and factory outlet stock would be cosmetic only; a small nick somewhere, a flaw in the vinyl veneer, something like that. It took me two weeks of intense searching to find the flaws (in the vinyl) on my M60s, and they were so subtle that, unless one was looking for them, they'd never be noticed.
Returned speakers are NOT sold through the Factory Outlet. F.O stock and regular stock will perform identically. The only significant downside to ordering from the F.O. is the longer wait for them to ship. When you're eager for something to arrive 6 weeks (my wait time - yours may be different) can seem like an eternity.

Cool, looks like I will be getting them from the factory Outlet then.
My question now is, what do I do with the wires from the surround speakers? We are on a cement slab, (no basement). Is it possable to run the wires under the carpet? Who would I contact about doing that? Im not good at that kinda thing. Keep in mind that the surrounds will be on stands. Thanks

Re: Is it possible to run the wires under the carpet?
If you have baseboards around the perimeter of your room you can hide the wires between the carpet and baseboards. Just a suggestion...
Good luck,
Shaun

That's what I am going to do when I purchase the QS8's/stands. There will be some wire showing, but what the hell. Until I get into a house with a dedicated home theatre room, I'll make do...

Okay, probably the best way to do this will be to run the wire around the baseboard until you are as close to the speaker as you can get. Then you will need a wire pulling rod.... they can be pretty expensive because usually you have to buy them in sets that connect to make rods up to 30' length, but you can just buy one of these from ebay... I have one of them and they work great http://cgi.ebay.com/GLOW-ROD-GLO-ROD-FIBERGLASS-WIRE-PULLING-FISH-TAPE_W0QQitemZ5996609950QQcategoryZ20589QQssPageNameZWD1VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem. Then you will need to make a VERY small hole in the carpet and push the rod under the carpet and possibly the carpet pad (that way the wire wont show as much). Push the wire pulling rod under the carpet and/or pad towards the baseboard where the wire is... attach the wire to the rod and pull. Just search google for "Wire Pulling Rods" and you will be able to find more rods... if you need more than 8 feet then you will probably have to buy a set of fiberglass rods that screw into each other extending the length up to 30'.

You can also buy speaker wire that is flat, for running under carpeting, that is what I did in my old house. When we moved, I just left it there for the next person.
There are many manufacturers that make this, including the all mighty Monster, I think I used Belkin.
