Yeah that center very impressive with 5 drivers. Now your sound experience is elevated to another level. So I suppose your Alpha T1 will be [WTS] soon...

Don't u think it is now the perfect choice & excuse to add in the SVS PC 13 Ultra? Same size as ur spk so very very ngam! Oh btw if u do up-grade do give me ur sub in return I will give ur Sarawak 'elite' fish like 'Sung Hock'!  He! He! At least I also got new troy mah even though pre-own! Peasant can not be choosy!  The PC-13Ultra will be too big and makes the Axiom looks small as it is at a towering 46". My PC-12Plus is at 40". That alone make my Klipsch floorstanders look puny Taukeh mpyw, now you realise that you been missing a lot eh?  Never a fan of B&W as I do not its characteristic. Maybe aint my cup of errr... speakers

Try choosing United States from the drop down menu at the top right hand corner. The price will be lower

In the product page itself the price shown there includes the shipping already. That's why later on it says 'free shipping' (the shipping cost built into the product cost).

That's why mpyw bought it from there i think. factory Outlet: cheap cheap. This post has been edited by maxizanc: Jun 16 2009, 09:05 AM

That's why mpyw bought it from there i think. I think you terbalik the price. Malaysia is USD874 and US is USD780. How can Malaysia be cheaper than US?  Anyway, Axiom's shipping is quite reasonable. Like in the case of the M60, the differential is only USD94. This post has been edited by jchong: Jun 16 2009, 10:10 AM

Can you compare the quality for M60 to B&W 603S3? I'm itchy to upgrade. Currently only have Axiom Surround speaker which is quite good. Looking for M80 and add emotiva XPA-5 amp.

However, I hv heard the B&W 683 with HTM61 in a proper HT room driven by the SR6003, their sound so dull & flat unlike the Axiom which is detailed, crisper clear and the bass are much better in stereo mode....I don't know if the 683 had been fully run in but the M60 are new out of the box....

I have a old B&W DM602 and i just love it although its no match for the floor stander. For me, B&W speakers are awesome but just too enpensive. Axiom M60V2 cost RM3900 excluding tax(btw how much tax dd you pay) and that is not cheap. For RM3900 i think there is lots of good floor stander you can buy. Correct me if I'm wrong.

for RM4k....can get PSB T55 or T65? and some entry-mid level like Wharfedale, AE, Q-Acoustic but I've heard some of those, they can never match the performance of the M60. If you only consider the speakers based on $$$ terms, then I think the PSB Alpha is the best bang for money for M'sia market, performance > $$ value My whole 3.0 Axiom set cost me less than RM7k (incl tax), which for the same range from other make i.e. DALI, PSB, B&W, Paradism or even Wharfedale, are much more expensive.....

Bro, for my taste (sorry if I offend others as it is purely my taste) the B&W isn't what I expected it to be for movies. Sound flat and laid back as if it is 'stuck to the wall'. I think I have to blame myself as I am used to American speakers for more than a decade Even my friend thinks that Klipsch sounds better than his B&W. One man's meat is another man's poison

Yeah, the M60 is in a different class. I think it is a true 3-way speaker since it has a dedicated mid range driver. What would be the comparable speakers in the same class from the mainstream brands? This post has been edited by jchong: Jun 16 2009, 12:17 PM

Btw, is the tax in Malaysia 15% for hifi equipments? One more thing, where do the Axiom speakers really stand as compare to other brands in the speaker world. Are they consider high end?
