No need to get the popcorn fredk. I am respectfully bowing out gracefully from the forum.
I’m armed and I’m drinking. You don’t want to listen to advice from me, amigo.

I will concede to this. I agree, a head's up would have been nice before dumping ten grand or better. The only problem with that is; where do you draw the line in regards to the timeline of giving these folks an option? That could be a slippery slope. Yeah, and from the sounds of it, they didn't anticipate releasing v3 so soon. The release of the VP180 made it happen sooner.

I was actually a little pissed off when Axiom changed the amp on the EP500 w/o warning since I figured I would end up buying another one to run dual subs. Well that was until experimenting with Sean’s subs has lead me to believe that dual subs is a non-starter in my room.
Cheers, Dean

More like my room is just that crappy. Your subs have acquitted themselves just fine when playing from the best location.

Dean, did you happen to watch the news today? No Cam, I just thought about watching the news. You should see what happens when I actually catch a glimpse of it.

But yes, complaining about customers complaining is a very counter-productive approach, especially from a member of the council. You would think there would be a bit more respect shown for those who expressed concerns in this thread.
I couldn’t have said it more succinctly.

I love what I have, but I can certainly understand that if I bought I custom real wood finish system a couple of months ago that I may be a little put off (the system would cost several thousands of dollars, and that's a lot of cash for any speaker system). I would have expected a heads up to wait a bit. I think if these very few customers contacted Axiom directly, something could be worked out.
But, for the others like me, I love what I have and have no complaints. And, btw, the same people who spend almost double for a custom real wood finish are EXACTLY the type of people who would appreciate the magnetic grille (IMHO). Thank you. That was my point.

Maybe that would be a good policy - mention what's coming down the pipe for custom wood orders (which are inherently longer lead anyways) but not for regular orders. The obvious question though is whether the information would leak out anyways, in which case see "Osborne Effect".
That said, my understanding was that most of the performance-related v3 changes dribbled into production over a year or more, and that only the name change and the magnetic grills were "sharp" changes, so this discussion may all be moot anyways.
