Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners New Speakers

Well, that's better than it could have been before I edited it...

I've opened many speakers and operated on them. I've replaced the caps and resistors in the cross overs, added damping, changed the wiring.

Anyway, everytime I unscrew a driver from the MDF cabinet and then screw it back together, I think that the contact between the screw and the MDF is degrading. I wonder whether whatever improvement I hope for from my tinkering is offset by the sonic consequences of the inevitable relaxation of the connection between the screws and the MDF.

All this to say, quality control is important. The fewer times anyone unscrews these things, the better. Some folks don't mind taking things apart. But all of us purchased finished products, not kits.

My experience with Axiom quality control is excellent. I've never received a defective product from Axiom. They obviously take quality control seriously. Every once in a while, someone on the line lets something get by them. I don't blame Axiom for trying to enlist the customer in the cause of repairing a defect, but ultimately, I'm sure Axiom will stand by their product.

Good luck with your new speakers. Please let us know how you like them once they're sorted out.

With pictures.

My replacement speaker should be here Wednesday. I have already started to update my HT pictures on my website....

I am not opposed to fixing a problem myself. I recently repaired a rear projection TV by soldering in two new convergence integrated circuits. I saved big money by doing it myself. The difference was that the TV was already 4.5 years old and well past the warranty period.

I'm sorry if I offended the natives. I simply expect more when the cost is so high. Axiom did send a new speaker I was just surprised by the request to swap tweeters.

Hopefully tomorrow I will finally get to watch movies

You know, if you live in a place called Mechanicsburg, we expect you to be able to fix anything!

And since you live in PA, we expect you to have a father.

I think what CV is trying to say is, (and I could be wrong) since you live in PA, we expect you know who your father is.

Oh, I said what I meant, but that doesn't mean it makes sense. Ha ha.
