I love the ARC. I love the sub out (good call Axiom).
I don't like the fact it can't be battery-powered. That one right there is a deal-killer for me.
No mention of where compression takes place. We've been promised 115dB with the Air. Yup. Still lots of goodies with AxiomAir, it is just that I am seeing more and more competitors nabbing up what was an exclusive AxiomAir feature here and there. I just want the Air to be as successful as it should be, but I am getting nervous.

Pretty sure Mojo was referring to Paradigm as not having battery...

Yes, they better change the production and shipping dates on the AxiomAir page. Still pretty quiet and no pictures of the conveyor belt yet.

Heck, I saw an ad for Paradigm's Premium Wireless series including their PW800. Has a LOT of similarities to the AxiomAir. Same bitrate capabilities, wireless, dual woofer/dual tweeter config (Axiom's are larger woofers), 230W RMS for Paradigm vs. 150W RMS for Axiom, a bunch of app support, streaming from devices, ARC (room correction) with the Paradigm, etc. Both selling for $799... Yup. I checked out the Paradigm system, and read a couple reviews about it a month ago when my best friend asked for my opinion of Sonos. I immediately recommended the Air to him, but.... The reviews I read for the Paradigm system were very positive. There's a few awesome features on the Paradigm system. One being that their system is open, so you can add other brands of speakers to the network.

Cam, you'll be able to add whatever brand of speaker you want to the Axiom pre-amp as well.
I've never heard ARC but if it's anything like XT32, it's a good addition. I am hoping that Axiom and partners will at least make available a decent equalizer app for the Air. By decent I mean not like the Android EQ apps but more like the ones available for Windows.

How is this coming along Ian, hoping for the best! The product page hasn't been amended to denote any delay, ergo it still says shipping in January, so here's hoping.

We have been doing the fit and finish detail to all the tools this past week and half. There are still a few more things to do on this list. Michelangelo also wrote a QC start-up code that sets the clock and performs a routine of tests to verify all is good with the software and hardware. When it is done these tests it will say "QC check passed" (or not) and leave the AxiomAir in analogue mode so we can run all the audio tests. This is working great. As soon as Steve can get off of cleaning up injection tools we can make a video of the process of building an AxiomAir.

Exciting times, I can't wait to get this thing in my hands. I will have to retire my old work radio. Thanks Ian!
