If you stop and think about it Axiom always says that they are busy researching and engineering, I think on what???? You never release any thing its the same stuff since the early/mid 2000s.
Take a time line of Axioms V1 line and compare what they have done compared to other brands.
SVS: 2 new speaker lines plus refreshes, inwalls, constant improving their PB and PC lines adding sealed subwoofers.
eD: 4 new speaker lines plus a slight refresh, subs subs subs.
Emotiva: 3 speaker lines, refreshes on their amps, new sealed subs plus refreshes.
What has Axiom done? The VP180 center, silver dust caps and mag grills. No wonder the Axiomites never have anything to talk about.
Chad, I see that 'all the money' Axiom spends on marketing isn't working at all if you think the only new product we've produced since 2000 is the VP180.
The EP400, EP500, EP600, and EP800 DSP subwoofers were all produced since 2000.
The entire in-wall/on-wall hybrid line of speakers (which won a Product of the Year Award from Audioholics) were produced since then.
Our outdoor speakers were introduced since then.
We launched our Customize-Yours options, which allow customers to order their speakers in any of over 100 possible finishes - or any finish they want at all, matched to an existing piece of furniture or wall color - shipped in 20 business days.
We developed and launched the A1400 amplifier.
We developed and launched an in-wall line of speakers.
We developed a created power-mount to make mounting on-wall speakers much easier and made the technology work on our QS surround speakers.
We created an in-cabinet line up of speakers for customers who want to create built-in entertainment walls.
We engineered an on-wall version of our speakers for customers who can’t or don’t want to put holes in their walls.
And there has been a v2 and a v3 of the core speaker line, or 'refreshes' as you refer to them when discussing other speaker brands, above.
It has certainly been a lot more than "What has Axiom done? The VP180 center, silver dust caps and mag grills." Chad, I understand you’re disappointed by Axiom – that’s abundantly clear as you post it on every forum you can – but I do think your statement needs correcting.
Gene, I'm sorry for posting on this thread after you had asked to reroute it to SVS again, and I understand if you need to move it. I won’t post again to it and my apologies to you and to SVS. I hope you will understand and accept my apologies.
