Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Is Axiom Audio Out of Business - No Phone or Email

I placed an order in early May and I am still waiting. I think I will call them tomorrow to cancel.

Two pairs of M5s?

Yes

Did I tell you all Axiom can't keep up with building M5s? Oh yes, I think I did. Four times!

You know why? Because Ian screwed up. The M5s are too damned cheap for the soundscape they carve out. And now volumes are literally through the roof and there ain't enough MDF, iron, copper and neodymium on the planet, let alone factory space and skilled labor, to build them.

I really hate Axiom since v4 came out. Every time I'm away from my systems, I can do nothing but think of coming back to them. I've been dependent on no man or thing in my life until v4 came along.

I hope you protest this drug by canceling your order.

I left a voicemail and messages but have not heard back.

If more prospects cancelled their orders, they could avoid the hell I'm going through. Do you know I can't sell my house and move into a condo to free up some cash because of Axiom? Where the hell am I going to find a 4200 cubic foot room in a condo to enjoy my 22 foot, 10 foot deep soundstage? Axiom's got me by my aging and slowly shrinking 'nads!

BTW, I need to free up cash to buy the new LFRs and subs that will be introduced soon.

A 6 month backorder is asinine. A good customer service gesture would be to send an e-mail update to anyone experiencing a backorder or supply issue. Maybe throw in semi-gloss or high gloss as a goodwill gesture.

Or just be upfront with the supply constraints on the website such as "Due to overwhelming demand, we are now shipping for Jaunary 2023 delivery...but you can lock in your price and place in line today!"

Spiroh, the M5 punches above it's price class. Even assuming it scores an Olive score of 6.0 (it appears closer to 6.5-6.8, and probably an 8.0 to 8.5 with perfect subwoofer), it's competing with bookshelf speakers $500 to $5000 a pair more. Just filter Pierre's site by bookshelf monitor and (Olive) score. Anything in the 8's is SOTA, and the M5 with appropriate sub will get you there.

Spiroh knows. He already has M5s. He's trading in for a different finish if I recall correctly.

Mojo you should work at a comedy club!!! It is very frustrating however as the great customer service is not there anymore it seems(hope it is a temp thing???). Spiroh that is not good waiting so long...I now do not feel so bad about my order being late(might ask about my original choice back in may of this year) if black oak is still delayed this week!!!Hope Axiom gets it figured out soon as if drags on not good for long term future IMHO!!

"State of the art doesn't mean angels give you lap dances while singing kumbaya..."

I'd buy that option.

"Mojo you should work at a comedy club"
