Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Yipeeeeeeee

Nope, the extra 2 boxes were speaker grills for the QS8's. Someone else said that they thought that they were the grills, and they were right. Still doesn't seem like the packaging was 43 pounds, but it may have been close once you factor in double boxing, etc.

Fun stuff, Nick. Sharing your experience, and excitement, just conjurs up that feeling I had when mine arrived. I'm sitting here grinning ear to ear.

I'm also very happy for you Nick, my Des Moines suburb buddy. I remember the way I felt the day I brought them home from Fed Ex, and you know what, it keeps getting better. Just wait until you get everything tweaked with the auto setup.

Happy Holidays to Nick and all my Axiom pals and gals...

Yes its definitely fun reading about people's first minutes with their Axioms. After one week I"m still thrilled and can't imagine ever loosing the GRIN on my face.

I'd like to offer my congratulations as well. There is nothing like getting your new system and setting up for the first time. Even better is spending time with the family and enjoying movies on your new theater; in fact, my family and I watched two movies (I, Robot and Top Gun) today. Your family will love it as much as you do.

That's great Nick!! And it's a real family event.

I'll echo some of the other comments made by saying that one of the nice things about this board is reading the posts made by folks who just got their Axioms and their excitement in actually hearing them for the first time. Then we get a second round with impressions following ownership for a bit (and pay attention here ) - PICTURES. You experience is magnified because Christmas is almost upon us. Anyhow - enjoy them and let us know what you think.

Just letting everyone know that I am going home to play with my speakers. Woohoo! Kids will still be up, obviously, so I can crank it up this time!!!!

Yippy!

PS. Anyone who is wondering about buying Axioms, quit sitting on the fence and do it! If you don't recognize a great product for a great price, then go buy Bose. They will sell you a bad product for a worse price. :-) (Nothing personal to anyone who owns Bose.)

BOSE: Basically Overprice Sucky Equipment.

Now I can get away with this because I owned a pair their $800 towers. My new towers (M60s) are so many many lightyears ahead of them it's not even funny.

Have fun!
