Second pic

Ok...there has to be a better way to upload 7-8 pics without having to post each one in a separate reply. Any suggestions?

Forgot to mention in the previous post...there is a 100 kb limitation on the attachment size, so I have to reduce the image size and post each one separately.
Here's the third...

B&W versus Axiom comparison. 602 S3, 602.5 S3 and M60.

so what did you end up with?

I'd say he wound up with a WHOLE lot of Axiom speakers.

Care to explain the situation again?

Wow dude -what did you do win the Powerball or hit the lottery? You must have a good paying job. Be sure to let us know what you end up with and why you came to your conclusion(s).

Maybe you should think about some furniture for that room...

Have fun there buddy...

Wow. Talk about properly auditioning. Bravo. Please be sure to post your thoughts, axiom models vs. axiom models, as well as the axiom vs b&w comparison. I for one would be very interested to hear your impressions.

Wanna give me some of those?

In my room I've compared the m80 to the B&W 603 S3. I'm interested to hear your conclusion for the m60 vs. the 602.

Hi All,
Things have been hectic on work front, so couldnt post earlier. To summarize my experience...
1. No I do not have a crazy salary job, but at the same time, I had a budget enough to buy a decent 5.1 channel sound system.
2. I wanted to audition as much as I could, so I took full advantage of Axiom's 30 day return policy.
3. I ended up keeping the M60, QS8, VP150. I have PB12-NSD to go with them. (I think I need to update my signature with this information)
4. I am extremely happy with what I have.

Below are some of the posts which go through my speaker search...

Thoughts on B&W versus Axioms:

Hopefully this will help. I had a super crazy time auditioning all this stuff. Bottomline, Axioms are fabulous for HT setup. My music impression was not great in the beginning, but these speakers have grown on me musically. I recently had a chance to attend a party at my friend's place who owns B*se system and he had cranked up the volume. At that point I knew exactly the worth of what I had. I also had a chance to audition Paradigm's Monitor 60 speakers this weekend and they sounded good in the Dealer's showroom. But I dont think I am going to get any of those for in home audition. I am pretty much done with my speakers. But I will keep auditioning others if I get the chance.

Next stop is a projector

Cheers!
