Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Hearing Things Where in the world?

I don't know.

I remember him posting here in the last month asking for anyone who could demo an EP600 in the FL area. This was because of the Axiom/SVS shootout and GTG threads over at AVS.

I think he must be a pretty decent guy since he was willing to seek out an Axiom owner to listen for himself. Others at AVS were just as happy to not bother listening to it, before commenting negatively on it.

I wonder if he ever was able to audition an EP500/600 sub?

At least when you click on his name he says "Not an Axiom owner, but a big fan". That is cool.

Who is "ILOVEYOU.TXT" on the same map? That person loves Axioms, in Freemont, CA.

Based on his activity over at AVS, I'm totally confused how he could classify himself as a "fan" of Axiom. As many here are, he is an SVS owner. I have no problem with that at all. But, I don't perceive him as unbiased, and cannot interpret his comments regarding the EP600 as those a "fan" would make ("wimpy driver" - "poorly braced" etc.) IMHO, he is an SVS/Swan fanboy who has aspirations of being a "player" on the forums.

"Fanboys are noted for a very emotional attachment to their chosen subject, often taking negative remarks about it as a personal attack. They will readily engage in debates, but will fall back on emotional responses. For example, a "fanboy" may go out of their way to point out negative and often untrue statements about their obsession's rivals; this is commonly known as FUD.

Fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) is a sales or marketing strategy of disseminating negative but vague or inaccurate information on a competitor's product." (see the comments above)

Yea... he hangs over at AVS, and seems to be a really nice guy.
Some of his posts CRACK me up.

well theres two different opinions

No problem Randy. My opinion is just that. No more; no less. I don't mind people holding a differing opinion.

I completly argee with your assement Jack.Even when he was posting here trying to convince everyone how much better the Swans looked and gave his so called review.To me it seemed like he was just trying to make himself some Swan converts.

From a post over at AVS by Ssabripo.

"I was able to audition the M60ti's (as well as ROckets 750s, Paradigm studios, B&W 704s and 603s, Energy Veritas 2.4i, and others) while doing my search for speakers around this time last year....I ended up with the Swan Diva 6.1s! To put it bluntly, they are pretty hard to beat in overall performance in the sub$1.5k range."

Then from his post here on the Axiom forum at the end of his review of the Swans.

" ps- Sorry, I never got to try the Axioms, so I cannot say how they would have compared, but man, if the Axioms are anywhere near these, I would have been impressed..."

Hmmmm ?

Uhhh....... You mean Brady?

My humble apologies Brady. I am embarrassed. Another "senior moment." Jeez, I hate that.

I found it interesting that on an Axiom map he posts a photo of his SVS. Hmmm?

Ok guys,

I want to thank all of you for your inputs and your thoughts....after long hours of research, reading, and several trips to local stores, not to mention countless hours in several forums including this one, I have put in the order for the following:

a pair of Swan 6.1 floorstanding speakers!!
