This is FANTASTIC news - many thanks for posting it here! When I told a friend of mine, he actually started rolling around on the ground shouting "YES!" at the top of his lungs. So, at least two people will be buying it :)

Peter Jackson's face practically leapt out of the screen at me during the Saruman/Wildmen scene - had to chuckle out loud at that! I didn't notice him at Helm's Deep, but I'll look again at the next viewing. Somehow I doubt he'd cameo twice in the film, but I suppose you never know...

Don't forget "Charlie The Lonesome Cougar". Another classic!

Rich, I'm currently powering my M22's and VP150 with a Yamaha HTR-5420 receiver which puts out around 70W/ch. Unfortunately this is really not enough juice to do these speakers justice (especially since I have to put the receiver into low impedance mode to accomodate the VP150), and when...

I thought I'd jump in to add my take on stands for the M22's. I just recently bought Plateau H-23 stands for mine, and they suit my needs very well. The suggested Axiom stand is too short, as it would put the tweeter well below ear level, so I had to go with something taller, in the 22-24"...

Bill, That is pretty darn weird! :) I'm sure you'll enjoy your speakers as much as I am! I'll wait a bit to post my full impressions, but my first gut reaction is that all of these speakers are wonderful - the first thing that came to mind listening to the M22's was "detailed" - very very...

For orchestra music, I generally prefer using film soundtracks over classical music. In my experience the quality of the recording is consistently higher. Lately I've been using the "Lord of the Rings" (2001) soundtrack - it's a phenomenal recording with plenty of dynamic range in all...

Just a quick note to say that my M22's and VP150 arrived this morning! I ordered direct from Axiom on Monday, and here they are in Seattle on Thursday. Woohoo! I'll post my impressions soon...

I'm jumping into this thread a little late, but I have a question since I am not terribly experienced with receiver bass management. I have a Yamaha HTR-5420 (one year old), and calibrate with the RS SPL meter and VE. Do the "large/small" receiver settings influence the sub test tone at all...

One more thing - here's another quote from Ian about pairing the M22's with the VP150: ------------------ The M22s with a sub will be perfect in your room. Both the VP100 and the vp150 are perfectly timbre matched to the M22s so either will work great in your system. If you go with the vp150...

Ryan, here's a Q&A (direct copy and paste) from the Axiom message boards about the exact issue you're talking about: -------------------------- After extensive research online, reading numerous reviews, and trying to wade through all the bovine excrement, I am 90% sure of purchasing an Axiom 6...

Rich, Funny you should bring up the issue of CC - I failed to mention that my order from Axiom included a VP150 center. My system is primarily for HT, and personally I believe that for HT the center is the single most important speaker in anyone's setup, and should not be skimped on. Thus...

You're right, I can't wait - oh the torture of hitting refresh on FedEx's tracking website every five minutes! :) Have you read the review of the M40's? I believe he briefly compares them to the M22's. I almost sprang for the M40's as well, but since I already have a sub, I liked the idea of...

I just ordered a pair of Axiom M22ti's yesterday. They'll be here in a few days, so I can't yet comment on them but I'd like to add to this discussion by saying that according to Axiom the M40's and M22's will both handle low bass without problem. I was wondering this exact same question, and...

Thanks for the comments guys! I went ahead and ordered the VP150SE and pair of M22tiSE this morning from Axiom. I'm getting factory blemish speakers, because the savings is quite good, and the blems are usually very minor from what I understand. Total was $600US for all three speakers - if...

I have a fairly old budget JBL speaker setup for my HT, and it's come time to upgrade. Because of the favorable reviews on this site and others about the Axiom speakers, and because the WAF is favorable to this line over others (she hates the appearance of the Divas unfortunately), I'm...

Shifting the development of Drakan II over to the PS2 from the PC was difficult for a number of reasons, not the least of which was disappointing the fans of the PC original who did not want to buy a new console for the sake of playing the sequel. I certainly can't blame you for feeling that...

Will a direct view set benefit from ISF calibration? I own a year 2000 model 36" Sony Wega (non-XBR). It suffers from bad fuzziness around the edges (especially corners, though I understand why this would be given the flat-screen tube geometry), and also black horizontal streaking from very...

Here's a more direct link to to the Tori on DVD rumors page:

Hmmmm, I'm surprised there isn't a petition for this. Usually topics of this nature (and length!) point to a petition somewhere on the net. The Tick is certainly worthy of a petition to Fox, given some of the other dreck which generates petitions! On the other hand, do these petitions really...

Thanks Gary! Having at least one positive endorsement is enough for me - I'm also a huge Ron Fricke fan. Already placed my order for the SE... Btw anyone know what Fricke is up to nowadays? Last I heard he was working on a new film called "Samsara", but that was quite a while ago.

Are there any reviews of this new special edition? I still have the old one and was wondering if it is worth the cost (albeit low) for the upgrade.
