I still like the idea of headphones and a studio monitor (active and passive).

Another issue. Reviewers only ever get exited about something brand new. It's rare they go back to a product that has been out for a couple of years.

I was just thinking OPPO would be a good candidate for making pre-pros. If they stuck with pre-pros, they could sidestep the amplifier issues that a lot of companies seem to have. I think they would be able to offer a lot of value in this area. I wouldn't mind if Axiom went in on it with OPPO, though, to create a line of pre-pros AND receivers. If Axiom's amplifier issues are history, it would be pretty cool to see their technology in receiver form. With OPPO handling the other side, I think it could be a compelling line of products.

Thanks, Dakkon. I'd like to see what Axiom could do with a soundbar type of thing. Aperion released an interesting option that appears to use another company as a partner.

Thiel Goes to Online Sales with Amazon.com (Audioholics)I did notice they had some products listed on Amazon.com a little while ago, but I forgot to mention it. One thing I mentioned in Axiom's customer survey was how great it would be to get the Amazon.com Prime shipping on their speakers. Maybe they could do like Thiel and simply offer a limited selection of their products on Amazon.com with the Prime shipping. Even if it was just the smaller speakers, of course in the stock finishes, that would be something. Of course, ideally I'd be able to get it all, but I would still love being able to get bookshelf or QS speakers in 2 days, and it couldn't hurt Axiom's sales to have increased visibility on Amazon.com.

The idea of partnerships comes up often enough. I was thinking it would be cool if Axiom got together with an A/V furniture company (or not necessarily A/V-specific, since that might drive up the price) to offer matching TV stands/equipment racks. There should be a way to match the speakers to the equipment shelving without it being TOO MUCH of whatever specific finish you've chosen, and it would also allow for the speakers to be a big part of the design of the shelving. They would need to be somewhat modular considering all of the different speaker possibilities. It would be nice to see TV stands that allow for vertical centers, or the in-cabinet speakers, right out of the gate, no modifications needed. I prefer an open design as opposed to the closed cabinet, personally, but it would still be neat to see. But yeah, right now I have an M22 as my center, and it has to sit out in front of my stand, and my stand isn't wide enough to hold all of my gear without having some of it sit behind the M22. If I get a VP180, I'm going to have to make a different stand to have out in front of my TV stand. Of course, I'll be getting rid of the TV stand when I move my system to the basement, anyway, but for now I keep thinking of how much better it could be with a stand and shelving designed around my speakers.
I'm sure it would just end up being too expensive. Still, something to dream about.
