HA!!!
Sniffin' tweeters. Is there any more enjoyable part of this hobby?I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore -

Dun Dun Dun
I always liked the fact they have a bookshelf that weighs like 19 pounds. Yet it has 2 midbasses, a tweeter and a crossover...
Most midbasses alone weigh atleast 4-5 pounds. So thats on average 9 pounds... tweeters weigh atleast a pound, so thats 10 pounds - then you have the port and crossover which together probally weigh a pound... so thats 11...
So that leaves what, 8 pounds for a cabinet? Say WHAT?- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -

Well,
I've never listened to the boys (Axiom) so I haven't the faintest idea what all of you are talking about. I also had no idea that audioholics had an Axiom connection. IF I'm not mistaken, Axiom is a direct internet marketing sales company no? No one else carries them?

I actually do have an old pair of Axioms for my rears....basically bookshelf types on stands. They serve the purpose and the price was right...but they will be a speaker upgrade soon.Yep, my name really is Bob.
