For the amount of work involved with the custom finishes I think they are reasonably priced. I'm with Homedad, I care more about the sound than the finish. My vinyl clad speaker will do me just fine .

Jeez, no wonder you are constantly advocating bookshelf speakers and low powered receivers John ... I imagine it's tough to pack up a set of high powered separates and towers for those worldwide trips you are making.
It's in good humor John!

Yeah Rick, that was the main reason I didn't go with M80s all around! But seriously, I did take a shortwave/am/fm portable with me on trips so that I could enjoy music occasionally.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Even though no one will mistake the vinyl for real wood, most agree (including the professional reviews) that the fit and finish of the vinyl is top notch. Even the majority of us that bought "B" stock speakers from the Outlet, can't find any flaws.
After talking with Joe this evening, he told me that they wanted the finish on the real veneers to be on par, or better than the others out there. To ensure this, they brought in some high-end furniture guys to tweak their finishing process.
So regardless of what the final price is, I'm sure they will continue to be an extrordinary value for what you are getting.

I received an e-mail from the webmaster at Axiom stating that the pricing issues and issues around adding the wood custom shop have been resolved.
Thanks
