Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Hearing Things M50 rises from the ashes

So glad to see the M50 back in the store. It's a great full range speaker ideally suited for those who may be distracted by too much high fidelity but still demand a wide soundstage, good imaging resolution and size and terrific transparency.

Someone from the office is working on the website. They probably got a new intern to thoroughly clean all of the factory bathrooms, serve coffee to all of the office staff, as well as got the Windows XP workstation next to the lathe machine from the website coder who retired back in 2009.

The Open Bar was removed last year. The EP125, EP600 and EP800 subwoofers are gone, the EP500 wireless disappeared, and all of the home theater packages have been removed. The pre-amp is nowhere to be found.

The market is changing, so hopefully Axiom and Bryston can keep ahead of the curve. The majority of the consumer audio market is powered loudspeakers (i.e. "lifestyle products"); passive loudspeakers and the AVR's/receivers are dinosaurs of a dying cohort of baby boomers and Gen X (albeit a sizable cohort that still has money).

Looks like some of the custom veneer finishes are gone, as well as the discount for delaying delivery. While that puts Axiom more in line with its competition, it would be a curious competitive advantage to drop if keeping the veneers in inventory could be done for minimal additional cost.

Kind of funny how they are going about updating the site … I noticed that some of the amp pages would display for some currencies but not others. Which amp and which currency seemed to change depending on when I looked.

No. I need another EP600 for the HT. I wonder if I can request one directly.

Yeah...you can. 800 or 125 too.

Most likely it’s just a website issue. I’d be very surprised if they were phasing these out. They could be replacing them with updated models. When you call I’d just ask them … In any case I’m sure they can still be ordered.

I’ll have to send them my ada1500-5 back for repair again too. Channel 5 is still having issues and causing the speaker to clip.

Sorry to hear that … hopefully they will turn your 1500 around quickly.

Thanks. Just waiting to get a reply email back from them so I can arrange shipping. Hopefully the turn around time is faster than it was last time.
