Toutes les enceintes Axiom de type bibliothèque comprennent :
I love these speakers. They hit a new high yesterday when I accidentally left my receiver up a lot higher than I normally did. When that voice came in I couldn't believe how clear and perfect it was, still after a few months! It never hurts or gets tiring, just clean beautiful sound whether with movies or with music, paired with my subwoofer
The moment I hooked my M22s up to my stereo I knew, for the first time, what the words \"audio bliss\" really meant.
smooth and crisp - not as full as the floor standers - but I couldn't afford the space in my living room for those. The M22s are pretty nice.
I just love them. Big enough for \"big sound\" but small enough for versatile placement options. I get compliments on the sound, but people would really be impressed if they knew what I paid for them. Or didn't pay, depending on how you look at it. My only negative is the aesthetics--the design is just a little outdated. It's not ugly, but it's not beautiful either. That's hard to complain about when you've got a SACD track playing, though.
Glad I took a chance on a unknown speaker company from up north. Sound and look great mounted on the wall with the swivel bracket
Excellent speakers. I considered the M50s and I opted for the M22s. I have them set up on (non-Axiom) stands and they are tight and sweet. I use them more often than not for TV / Home Theatre audio (along with an EP125 sub and a VP100 center) and I'm very pleased. Axiom leads in value and customer service. Buy Canadian / North American.
I just wanted to let you know that I'm thoroughly enjoying my M22 v2 speakers. I have them in my bedroom & drive them with an Adcom GFA 535 II power amp & the Adcom GFA 555 II preamp. I'm very impressed how these little speakers perform as if they were big speakers. Nice clean, crisp, detailed highs & mids. Good bass response for a small driver as well.
Received the M22s via Fedex this morning. Don't even have them on speaker stands yet. They sound amazing transparent. Had a client give me one of their latest cds, very complex jazz and blues arrangements. These speakers handle everything without getting muddy. The midrange really shines. Listened to some George Winston, and could literally hear how hard he hit each key of his piano. My biggest challenge now is to find a resting place for these Boston Acoustics. I'm definitely looking to get the EP350 subwoofer. I can tell that I'll have quite a stereo system soon.
Simply incredible. Amazing sound at an unbelievable price. Someday I will upgrade to M80s, but in my current small living room these are more than enough; I never feel like I want or need more.
Great quality, inside and out. I'm using these in a HT setting, hung horixontally from the ceiling, either side of the screen, In conjuction with an HSU sub, the sound is awsome! Axiom customer service is 5 stars too. one of the drivers had a small dent in the cone (but still sounded fine), Axiom sent out a new driver immediately, \"keep the damaged one\".
Excellent sound from the M22. Very pleased with the performance of this speaker. I use them with a 10 inch sub, and the bass is much improved by adding a sub.
If you want a big sounding speaker setup with clean highs and mids and a tight bass response, paring the M22's with a subwoofer will give you the full-range experience of tower speakers. Excellent pair of speakers. I use them in my computer audio listening setup.
My inlaws asked me to put a two channel system together that would be good for a varitey of music types. With a limited budget I wanted to get the best speakers they could afford. I came across Axiom in an online review and boy am I glad I did. These speakers are absolutely stunning. The build quality is exceptional, but more importantly the sound is amazing. I wanted to keep them for myself and give my floorstanders to them, they were that good. Keep up the great work Axiom as you have a new devoted customer.
About as much fun as you can have in less than 2 feet... They may be small but you'll want to push some real power at these bad boys. Absolutely perfect for someone wanting more from a smaller package. Score some points with your spouse / significant other, who can't abide your mondo towers, pick up a pair of these. Pair them with one of Axioms digital subs and badda bing badda booom- OH hell yeah!
Even my friend who is an acoustical engineer admires the sound to price ratio that the M22s possess. The M22s produce such warm tones and surprising bass with no sub. Couldn't be happier.
I've had the M22v2 speakers in my basement home theatre for about a year now along with 4 QS4's and a VP 100. It never fails to amaze me how superb these speakers sound. Many, many nights I have spent in the theatre just listening to my albums and cd's with the 112\" screen black, receiver set to pure direct,...the sound is just that good! Keep up the great work Axiom. Lloyd Metcalf, Oshawa On
I couldn't be more pleased. The size and maple color allow them to blend in nicely on the bookshelves surrounding our big screen in the family room. The sound provides everything I would have hoped for. Even before I finally installed a subwoofer, I was more than happy that these speakers did a fine job at replacing the floor standing Celestions that disappeared with my bachelorhood.
These unassuming speakers are the quintessence of raw sound. Simply close your eyes and these speakers are your ticket to a concert hall, a football stadium, or the middle of a movie. Sound so clear and crisp you will forget your are in a room and not live at the event. The best part, you will make your friends jealous by spending half as much and receiving twice the clarity than their speakers.
These speakers are very versatile and an incredible value. The sound is crisp and clear with plenty of volume for a modest size room. They are excellent for main speakers in a home theater system where space is at a premium. Add a subwoofer and they will amaze you for almost any kind of music. You can't go wrong with the M22s. Even if you eventually upgrade, you'll find you just can't part with them.
I have own the M22 speakers for some time now and I am extremely happy with them. For the amount of money I paid for, these speakers cannot be beat. The quality of the sound is crisp and clear, unlike many speakers, there is no over tuned high and low range that muffled the sound. Playing music and sing Karaoke with the M22 (and Sub) is just great. Together with my other Axiom speakers (Center, Surround and Sub; purchase around 1999; discontinued), I also enjoy great movies and surround music. I gave it 5 out of 5 for the quality of the speakers at this low price range.
Outstanding Quality !! I've had the best Customer Service Experience with Axiom ,, all in all and excellent company and product
The service has been top notch, the easy buying experience, web site navigation is excellent and the product...well, I have sat long hours in my living room with a beatific smile since receiving the M22's. Mahler's 5th Symphony, Stravinsky's Firebird Suite, Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra and Miles Davis' Kind of Blue never sounded better !
Before i bought the m3s i owned a pair of $2400 jm labs .i was very happy with them ,but i'm an audiophile,and we are never happy. i had read so many rave reviews of your speakers that i just had to see what they sounded like. as soon as i heard the m3s i asked to upgrade to the m22s and gave my jm labs away. i since have bought the finest amp i could find to do the m22s justice. i'm now a 55 year old audiophile and i really feel i've found the finest audio i've ever heard. and what pleases me so much is everybody i have met at axiom has been so nice to me. i feel really proud to be part of the axiom family.
I read the reviews, saw the awards, and liked the style but had never heard them. I thought I would give it a shot, but had not had a chance to put in my order. My wife bought the M22 bookshelf speakers for the heck of it (without me knowing), knowing I have wanted a new set of speakers. I dragged my wife along to listen to many options over the last couple of years, and I must say the M22 are the best bookshelf speakers we have heard! The first night I had them I did an A/B test with my Polks using Frank Sinatra's Christmas cd and I think it was the first time my wife commented on a speaker's performance. Thank you, Axiom, for making such a wonderful speaker at an outstanding price. They produce a wonderful, crisp, clear sound listening to metal, Sinatra, classical or movies. Keep up the good work, and thanks to my loving and gorgeous wife.
Completly blown away by the sound these speakers make - The Best Sound for the money!
The Speakers are Great. Thanks for the quick service. I did Audio for CBS TV for 35 years an I have to say your speakers are a great value. Thanks
Afternoon, just wanted to give you guys a follow-up on the MTi22's. They are undoubtedly one of the best deals for the money. They're broken in, and the system never tires!! I can't thank you guys enough for offering such a sweet spot of quality. People are blown away by the clarity. Will recommend these speakers to everyone I know interested in upgrading, you'll have to pry these things from my dead cold hands, Thanks for great work,
If you are looking for great sound then buy these Axiom M22-V2 speakers, or better yet buy the whole set. I love my new speakers. I have B&W front speakers and a JBL 12" Subwoofer. These M22 V2's have sold me on the Axiom product, as soon as I can save the money I plan on buying the full set. I can't wait!! P.S They are very well built and look great!!
My M22's and EP350 combination are perfect for my needs. They fill my 4200 cu.ft room with crystal clear music. They are built with precision and I would guess a lot of care by the employees.I could tell from the moment I opened the boxes that this is a quality product.I would highly recommend Axiom to anyone looking for loudspeakers. e Nuance speakers I bought and tried out(and returned) don't even come close to these. I will buy the surrounds and center from Axiom soon.
The midrange is superb and treble is always getting better. The soundstage and the image is excellent for a speaker in this price range. Better than 1500$ floorstanding I've auditioned. The bass is not low because it's a bookshelf. But it's tight and precise.
Well, I'm now playing amazing iPod sound on a pair of M22s and the EP 350 that fills our new master bedroom with all our favorites, whenever we want them (lucky I ripped all those CDs at best compression settings to get the most out of these beasts). I can play them wirelessly, from any room in our new apartment, from any computer, thanks to the Apple wireless setup. I sure wish Yamaha made it as easy as you guys do. I replaced that high-end Yamaha (great in its day and still fine so we pressed it into service in the bedroom) with the new Pioneer, for our home theatre, still hooked up to your monster Axiom surround system. Guess what? Your top-of-the-line system (can't remember all the model numbers) sounds EVEN BETTER in our apartment! I have no idea why because the old home theater had "theoretically perfect acoustics" than the way our apartment lays out. It's kind of spooky -- I think the speakers simply refuse to emit anything that mindblowing sound. From the subtlest tinkles to explosions that shake the entire downtown apartment building we've just moved into), the old beast continues to astound me. The new set of speakers are truly incredible and fit and look wonderful. And.... it took me longer to figure out how to reconfigure the Yamaha than it did to take everything out of the boxes, do the wiring and get it all going. With Axiom pouring out of our office, too (the top of our 3 floors downtown), I guess you could say, in my best "Ahnold" impression possible... "I've been Awhxiomated." :-) Thanks a million,
My speakers arrived in good condition and I think they'll meet our requirements nicely. I matched them up with a small Martin Logan subwoofer - the combination sounds great together. We look forward to enjoying our system for years to come.Regards,
Thanks for the follow-up note! I had to wait for my receiver to arrive, but I have the system set-up since Tuesday. I must say very impressive so far! I'm systematically going through my music collection and these speakers definitely add a new dimension :) I listened to Paradigm and B&W bookshelf speakers in a store before I bought the Axiom's and the Axiom's sound just as good or better to me! Thanks,
I recently ordered a pair of M22tis and could not be more pleased. They look elegant, are well constructed, and, oh yeah, they sound incredible. It made me fall in love with 2-channel audio all over again. I recently ordered a VP 150 and am eagerly awaiting its arrival, and will soon continue to order until I've redone my bedroom theater with a full 7.1 of Axiom speakers. Keep up the great work! You have won yourselves a long time fan and customer.ÂÂ
I love 'em! It's amazing what a difference these are from my old 70s RCAs. THANK YOU!
I did receive the M22's last Friday and they sound Awesome! My plan was to try them out and then order the rest if I liked them. Well, I placed my order for a VP150 and 4 of the QS8's yesterday! I was cautiously optomistic due to the rave reviews and also some of the negative comments I had read. Well, I was blown away by the quality! The people who were negative have either never heard these before or they have really bad rooms/equipment/setups/ears or something because these are great. They deserve all of the positive professional and user reviews they have received. I'll be happy with these as long as they last. Thank you. PS. I've been in this hobby for over 10 years and have owned Atlantic Technology, Energy and Cambridge Soundworks and the Axioms are easily the best I've owned. Count me as a fan!
Just a quick note to you folks to let you know how impressed I am with these M22ti's after giving a solid test drive for a month --- fantastic sound from such a relatively small speaker (and, even better, at a price that I consider to be very reasonable).
Thanks very much for the efficient service and incredibly fast delivery I hooked up the speakers last night and played Beethoven's triple concerto. The speakers played amazingly well in the middle and higher range. My wife & cello playing teenager were astonished. I intend to play then hard for a while, but if they do half as well with R&B and rock, as they do with classical, you'll have a family of delighted customers.
They are AWSOME just like you guys!! You got them shipped out Wed. afternoon and I was rocking with my best girl Friday night! (her response was worth twice the price of the speakers) One of the amazing things about the incredible sound is that the signal they are getting is coming from the absolute cheapest amp and CD player that Best Buy had four years ago (my previous $3,000+ system went in the divorce) and I've been existing with a very poor substitute for silence since. . . BUT NOT ANY MORE! Thank You!
I received my speakers andhooked them up. Wow!, what a sound. I am very happy with my purchase.
I am *definitely* enjoying the new axiom speakers! On a side note, I went to a hifi shop and auditioned the b&w nautilus 805 speakers (with a primaire preamp, classe power amp). The b&ws sounded flat, and lacked warmth and lowend. The soundstage was all lined up in a 2d plane, and was too laid back for enjoyment. Technically, it sounded great in the mid/high range, but for $2000, I am incredibly glad I bought the axioms for a fifth of the price. Sounds better, anyway. :) have a great day - I will be purchasing more things throughout the course of my life. Looking forward to the next purchase! The ep125 is coming next. :)
Just a note to thank you and all the great people who work for Axiom. I am very happy with my new speakers and I am sure I will be purchasing more Axiom speakers in the future as I upgrade to a home theatre system. I was a little leery of purchasing speakers on-line but the great independent reviews I read and your helpful on-line support won me over.
I replaced a 22-year-old pair of Pioneer speakers that were rotting away - pieces of the material around the woofer were falling off. Your M22ti speakers are an unbelievable improvement in sound quality and one fourth the size. I am in my mid 40s and have not purchased stereo speakers for many years as family needs always seem to take prioirty. I was a little hesitant to purchase speakers over the Internet without hearing them, but glad I did. With so many reviews and customer viewpoints available on various web sites, the quality of speakers I received was exactly what I was expecting. Congratulations on your efforts to successfully market on the web! Thanks for a great purchasing experience.
It's beautiful! Thank you!
Thank you for the follow-up e-mail. I have just installed my new Axiom speakers and they sound fabulous. Keep up the good work.
I must confess the M22ti's put my Infinity home theatre floor standing speakers to shame! I'm still working on getting the EP125 subwoofer set up at the right levels, but after getting that hooked up, I listened to a CD that has exceptional recording quality - it's the artist who goes by the name of Seal, and his latest CD had a few tracks that are EXCELLENT for putting speakers through the paces.
I've only had a chance to listen to them for about 15 minutes last night at 11:30 pm. But they sound terrific!
Went through 20 CD's last night. Great sound. Thanks
I just had to let you know that I am completely bowled over by the M22s. They are amazing. All the reviews I read about soundstage, clarity etc are completely true. Even when you consider that I paid an extra $ 200. shipping,vat,and duty they are well worth it. I also realise how badly recorded some of my CDs are. That Ian is a sound man, tell him thanks, Slan,
WOW,....WOW WOW WOW!!! Thank you all so much. The M22's and the VP100 are beautiful. They sound absolutely brilliant. Up to know I have had bose, and now I realize how much of the midrange and high frequencies that I have been missing. They look fantastic, I must say that your site could really use some larger pictures the current ones just don't really show them off. Please thank Jean, he was very courteous and helpful. Thanks,
it's tuesday and I got my speakers today! I was told probably wednesday so they are a day early, what a great suprise. i hooked them up and they are great and look beautiful. I have heard that they need some kind of breakin period so I am expecting even better things to come. I really am impressed with the effiency of your company and support, if only the rest of the world was as diligent. i will be recommending you to any and every one within earshot...and maybe even farther...
Yep, they're here! The FedEx guy was somewhat appalled at having to deliver so many boxes to a residential address at the SAME TIME, but when I helped him lug them into the house he was at least somewhat mollified. I'm still putting everything together, and getting the room ready for them (boring holes through walls and floors, running MILES of cable, and generally thrashing around). I can't WAIT to fire everything up and see how it sounds! Physically, the speakers and stands are flat-out beautiful! I particularly appreciate being able to run speaker cables through the stands themselves: it removes SO much clutter, and makes everything so much neater--and safer for a klutz like me! My 2 cats and 9 dogs will also appreciate this amenity. I'll let you know when everything's up and running! Have I told you that I REALLY appreciate your 'business model and the very human interface with Axiom? If the speakers are even half as good as this experience has been (and they'll be better than that!), you folks are real winners! Best,
I am greatly enjoying the m22s - they arrived in good condition. I even took them to my local audio store to A-B them against the B&W 601s - the folks there were very helpful, but the 601s did not have near the clarity and soundstage of the axioms - consider me sold!
Just to let you know, I was surprised and delighted to find the Purolator delivery man with my M22ti's safely on the doorstep by noon Fri. (less than 24 hrs. in shipment). Excellent service. I connected the speakers this weekend and am, so far, extremely pleased with their outstanding sound. To be this good right out of the box is exceptional, and I can't wait til they break in a little. I short, I am very pleased with my first Axiom experience, and in addition to shortly ordering a second set of speakers myself, would/will recommend your company to anyone. My compliments on an excellent product and marketing/sales program. You appear to be a company that actually does, promise less, but deliver more...unfortunately, all too rare these days. Thanks again.
You know I have been a lover of good wine for a long time. My greatest lament is the pomp and pretension centered around describing a great wine. There are terms that must be used if you want to appear knowledgeable. Personally I prefer to say this was an amazing bottle you should try it, the wine will justify itself. If forced to justify my joy I will use those terms but they just seem to lack emotion. I hate clinically deconstructing something that brought such pleasure. I find my self in the same position with the new M22s that I just wired into my system. Speakers this good make me wish I had the full range of audiophile vocabulary to call on just so I could justify to the acoustically high brow why I pity the amount they spent. Words like transparency and clarity of reproduction just seem to lack the joy to describe the sound these speakers bring. I guess if I dont feel like talkking I can just let the speakers speak for themselves. Since I am writing to you I will leave it at stunning and amazing (I do not think an Oh my God would be out of place). I thought it was cliché when I read the reviews; I rediscovered music.... Three hours of sitting and just listening I understood. I look forward to going home and seeing what else I can listen to. You have a loyal customer and a devout advocate. If they paid teachers better I would be ordering a new center channel and surrounds with this letter... p.s. I never write letters for products I buy...
FYI, those little Axiom speakers are amazing. They are replacing my Martin Logan Aerius($2,500/pair) and I'm not sure I don't like the M22 better.
Got the speakers: AWESOME! You can count on my future business, and I'll tell my friends!!
Thank you so much for following up. That is great customer service, something i am sad to say I don't experience often. I am more then pleased with the new speakers so far. I hope to get one of your center channel speakers soon. The M22s are easily the best speakers I have ever had the pleasure of listening to.
I'm loving them already - the sound is great! Thanks for a great product and excellent service.
I just wanted to let you know how absolutely pleased I am with your speakers. I began shopping for speakers three years ago. As a classically trained musician, I wanted to be able to enjoy the full symphonic experience at home. Additionally, as a classically trained musician, in a musical profession, my budget was limited. I auditioned several speakers and couldn't find any that were up to the full force of the orchestra when called upon by Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Wagner, Shostakovich, etc. The middle of the orchestra would inevitably become "muddyâ€Â. The only solution I found up to that point was the Gold Reference Speakers from Monitor Audio. After doing a lot of research online, I decided to take a chance on your M22's. I had planned, if they worked out as reviewers claimed, to use them as surrounds and purchase the M60's for the fronts. Well, am I glad I tried the M22's! They are fantastic speakers. Paired with my sub, I couldn't be happier with how they handle music of all kinds. They have breathed new life into my recordings. Since purchasing the M22's I have rounded out my home theatre with your VP150 and 3 QS4's. They are all fantastic speakers! I can't believe I was considering financing $8,000 worth of audio equipment that wouldn't have sounded a nickel better than your products. Thank you so much,
It's risky buying speakers for a guy as particular as my father is, but the M22tis I've got now are absolutely beautiful speakers. I play vinyl on them and the soundstage is tall and wide, and it's like listening to records when I was a boy. My father has a small listening area and so I got the shorter M3tis, but I can't wait for Christmas. He'll love them. You all have been very accomodating. Thank you very much. Sincerely,
I have been meaning to write to you guys for some time. We had an addition measuring 24 by 14 in the rear of our house which has become our family/media room. We now have a big screen TV and a 6.1 Channel Home Theater setup with your M22s as our front speakers WOW! Your quality bookshelf speakers with my Cambridge Soundworks 12 Sub sounds awesome. Your speakers are so musical on CDs and they add so much realism to and DVD we play! I auditioned a couple of different speaker brands (Boston Acoustics, Paradigm to name a couple) at a Tweeter's and another High End stereo store but I have to say that your M22s on the SS24 stands filled with sand and stone make our system sing. They are extremely musical and so natural / neutral sounding and yes they are getting better with use. My sons and I as well as just about anyone else who hears the system cannot believe the clarity. We crank up the volume on the launch scene from Armageddon where both space shuttles are taking off simultaneously and it is awesome. Thanks for a super quality product and a wonderful finish - I don't know how you did it but the Charcoal Grey M22s almost exactly match the Hitachi big screen TV so besides the great sound it all looks great together. Believe me if I ever decide to change any of the speakers in the system at a later date you guys will definitely get my business. Sincerely another new and loyal fan in Maine, USA
I purchased the M22i's and the dipole Q-8. The speakers were from the B-Stock store and I can't seem to find anything wrong with them. They look like new to me. I hooked up the speakers last night and they are beautiful sounding speakers and the build quality is outstanding. I am coming from Paradigm monitor series speakers and the build quality is so high above there I can't believe it. Thank you for a great product and fast shipping to Oregon!
I received my order today, and couldn't wait to get the speakers set up. I have to tell you that I spent several hours sitting and enjoying the amazing sound! Your speakers are everything I expected, and a lot more. I still can't believe what a bargain this system is, and what an improvement it is over my previous speaker system. I just wanted to say thank you. I know where I'm going to direct anyone who's looking for new speakers, and I expect I'll be back again when I'm ready to upgrade again.
My wife and I are cutting our 4th CD of old time mountain music and I wanted to share that after about a year, I continue to appreciate how wonderful my M22's sound with this music. Of course the fact that low bass isn't an issue contributes, but I am used to being in the same room with world-class acoustic instruments and musicians and when I hear the same people and instruments through my Axioms, I can't tell the difference! We continue to use our Axioms to master our CDs.
My new M22's arrived this afternoon in perfect condition. I hooked them up immediately, coupling them to a Boston Acoustics 100 watt, 10 sub. Notice: You're not getting them back! My wife Andrea and I are re-discovering our music collection and are having a great time doing so. The speakers and the service exceed expectation, an unbelievable value in an era of hype. Now, I'll have to save my penies for an Axiom sub! Cheers,
I received my Millennia M22ti Bookshelves yesterday. Only 2 days shipping. The speakers are, quite simply, awesome. Thank you very much for your wonderful pre-sales advice, your prompt shipment, and the fantastic speakers,. Your company should be proud of a job well done, and I would heartily recommend you to anyone who needs speakers for their audio system.
I bought a pair of M22tis about a year ago and have enjoyed them off and on in various systems. They are fine speakers and great value. But I've found a magic combo with your speakers and wanted to pass it along. I have the speakers on 24 stands (for some reason, much better sounding than what I'd think would be more appropriate 18 ones), with a modded Pioneer DVD running straight into a Sophia Baby amp--ten whopping watts--and this system makes music like almost no other I've had in my home. I confess to giving a good chunk of the credit to the Sophia amp, which is stunning regardless of cost (it lists for $800), but the Axiom speakers are its match, producing a detailed, big, and, most important, musical sound. I find myself listening to this system more than to my big one, which costs multiples of the smaller one.
I received my m22ti's today. Bravo, a miracle has occurred in my living room.
I'm one that researches everything and speakers were no different. With all the positive reviews I read, the price, the quality, and the 30 day money back guarantee...It was a no brainer! I took the chance and am now rediscovering my CD collection! Thanks Axiom!
I was impressed that a smaller speaker can produce such a wide range of sound. Much to my suprise,these speakers feature plenty of tight bass,and balanced treble- which was pleasing to my ears.I was shocked that a small cabinet can produce such a deep sound,comparable to a pair of tower speakers. My living room was filled with the sound of clear, crisp music. Thanks to your recommendation, I finally found a pair of speakers that are accurate souding and conducive for most types of music, especially Jazz. I guess in the speaker world, Size doesn't matter and big things come in small packages.
The M22's are perhaps the best speaker Axiom has ever made. So neutral, so open, so detailed, so clear, it never backs down from the pressure of any recording, no matter how complex, loud, or soft. Match it well with good wire and good stands, and you have the best speakers for less than a couple thousand dollars, by far.
Excellent speakers, excellent price. I only purchased 2 pair of M22Tis for my home theatre, but with this price/performance it will not take me long to order the surrounds, sub, and a centre. Keep up the great work!
I am more satisfied with these products than any other audio or video products that I have purchased in the last thirty years. Price/performance ratio is totally off the scale! The M22s create a wonderful seamless soundstage that makes the music seem as if the musicians are in my living room. Tremendous clarity and smoothness in the midrange and treble ranges-there is a sense of refinement in the sound that has had me listening to more music in the last two weeks since I got these beauties than I had in the last six months. Bass is also excellent for a speaker of this size. It was snap to integrate them with my two NHT 10 subwoofers.
My fiance listened to them for a while and then went out of the way to tell her Mother about them. Now THERE is a rave review! These are truly great speakers.
I purchased a set of the M3ti and one pair of the M22 i series speakers over the last few months. They are absolutely wonderful. The sound is clear, deep, and precise. Just beautiful music for the price. The reviews i read were on target-the best sound for the price paid. they are better than speakers costing many more dollars. The workmanship and overall quality are truly remarkable. I would give them a 5 point rating on a scale of 1-5, 5 being the best. The bass is very good-but for true bass lovers a Subwoofer would be helpful for the big, deep bangs. These two sets of bookshelf speakers are highly recommended. You can't go wrong. The 30 day try out period in your own home cant be beat either. The staff is wonderful to deal with and respond quickly to your questions, concerns, etc. they are very friendly as well.
Astonishing improvement over my old Boston A60's, I must admit with my low end electronics I wasn't expecting the M22TI's to sound as good as they do, the improvement in detail and clarity is like night and day. I took a chance with the Axioms after auditioning the usual suspects in the budget bookshelf category (Paradigm Monitor 3, B&W 601, etc...) and couldn't be happier.
Truly Amazing. I have never heard so much sound out of such little speakers. These speakers have the power to shake my house. I can't say it enough truly amazing!!!!!
Amazing speakers! incredible clarity and transparency of sound. Unbelievable bass for driver size. Buy these speakers!
I use the M22Tis as rear surround speakers for my home theatre system. The tonal quality emanating from these small speakers are quite deep, warm and with a larger sound stage that usually reproduce by floor standing speakers. The high is crystal clear with a smooth transparent feel to it without being bright or harsh. Amazingly, these ] little puppies can crank out some very low but rich frequency, again very smooth. I listen to music more than ever before, jazz, standards, classical... And for vocals, they are unbelievably realistic for I can hear smoothness that the voices carry in all octaves. The sound is very enveloping and transparent that filled my sizable listening room, 22' x 20' with 12' high vaulted ceiling. For HT, these little power houses reproduce true to live (special effect) sounds from flying helicopters, explosions, dinosaurs to crickets in the distance. Clarity and realism, the two main ingredients I look for in surround speakers and the M22Tis surpass beyond my expectation. These speaker are the best bang for the bucks, an outstanding value.
Just got the speakers and I've found I'm falling in love with my music all over again. Hearing things I haven't heard before. The sound is very clean without being austere, warm without being wooly. 5-1/4 woofers give amazing bass reproduction, even without a subwoofer, which I may decide to add eventually. But since I don't listen as much to rock/pop as I do to jazz and orchestral, these have plenty of oomph with no distortion. And they look great too. I can't wait to go home and put on another disc!
I just wanted to let you know that the M22ti and FMS16 arrived on today without any problems. And everything seems to be working fine as well. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for the follow up. I love the system, and love your excellent customer service. You definetly have a repeat customer.
The speakers are terrific. You will be interested and maybe mortified to know that they are currently being powered by my JVC office-type CD player/clock radio. I hope someday to have ten minutes to figure out which amp to buy. Thanks so much for the great product, service and follow-up, Amie.Kind regards,
Yep ... they're here and they sound fantastic! I was also surprised to see that they made it here so quickly.Thanks and best wishes from Southern California!
Thank you for outstanding customer service. Please pass along our compliments to your co-workers. I sent an email asking for assistance in choosing a speaker and received a response within 30 minutes. I ordered the speakers On-line and we received our speakers the next day, before we even had time to check the Purolator website ! Wow ! You guys are good !
I received my speakers on Monday and immediately took them home and set them up. I am so happy about my purchase from Axiom. Being an opera fan, detailed sound was a priority as I made my speaker selection. I couldn't be more pleased with your great product the M22. I can't wait for my friends to hear them. Thank you for a very fast delivery of this very fine product.
I am very pleased with my new Axiom speakers. I am also grateful for your obvious concern for your customers. From purchase to delivery, I've been impressed with the professionalism demonstrated by everyone involved at Axiom.Thank you,
I've been listening to my new M22ti speakers for 3 weeks now. I have them hooked up to a Yamaha RX-596 stereo receiver (80 watts, 120 watt dynamic headroom). For the first week, I listened to a variety of different music, ranging from your suggestion of Bavarian Highlands (great album by the way) to home-made frequency-modulated sine waves. I was fairly impressed with the clarity of the sound. Voices sound like human beings, not robots; hi-hats are nice and crisp (I am a percussionist); and orchestras fill the room nicely (I have a relatively large appartment). The only lacking department, these being bookshelfs, was in electronica music, where the bass was simply insufficient to make the floors vibrate. This being said though, my roommate's system (worth a few thousand more than my own) performed more poorly than mine in all of my tests. This was impressive since his speakers have 6 1/2 drivers, whereas the M22ti have only 5 1/4 drivers. This first week of testing made a good first impression. For the following two weeks of testing, I added a Polk PSW404 subwoofer to my system (sorry, I bought it before I learned about AxiomAudio). This addition did not really change the sound quality of classical music in general, although it might have added some depth and definition. The difference can be felt mostly for rock, jazz, and electronica, where the kick-drum and the bass make a significant contribution to the musical experience. The M22ti intergrate really well with the sub (I have to turn the sub off to convince myself that it's actually working). All-in-all an interesting musical experience no matter my immediate auditory needs. Finally, I should say that I discovered AxiomAudio by pure luck. I was last-minute surfing for reviews on another brand of speakers (my mind was set on buying these, although I had last-minute regrets because I had not been impressed when listening to them in a local store). Shopping for speakers is a disaster. The vast majority of reviews are not helpfull at all and can be misleading. Anyway, I somehow ended up on the AxiomAudio website and clicked on Bookshelf speakers. I was initially impressed by the look of the speakers: they did not look like toys made for gullible amateurs. Then, there was the fact that I could listen to them at home for one month. The website was also professional, with a newsletter that was truely informative. I told myself that I had nothing to lose...and I didn't. I will not be returning these speakers. Thank you, Sincerely,
I recently purchased these speakers and hooked them up to my tiny new 1bit sharp theater system. high tech but only about twenty something whats per channel. took the speakers over to my friends place who has nice quality sound all throughout his house. amplifiers, powered speakers, nice receivers, cable, etc. anyway in one of his rooms, he had some powered roland monitors that in the past i thought were so nice and he paid $600.00 each for the roland bookshelf type speakers. i brought my axom top end bookshelf speakers and he hooked them up where his rolands had been and these speakers sounded soooo much cleaner and sweeter than the rolands i had just recently truely enjoyed. when i told him the cost of only $220 u.s. per speaker with no tax and free shipping----he actually made the comment that i was showing off!!! after hearing these speakers connected to more powerful, nice equipment, i was even more impressed with the quality of the sound. very nice!
I just want to let you know that I am completely satisfied with my purchase. My M22s (and stands) were shipped quickly and arrived with no problems. I hooked these bad boys up and my jaw dropped! It sounded like Diana Krall was right there in my living room! Amazing! I only initially purchased the pair to trial the Axiom sound. I love the sound and, let's just say, I will soon have a complete AXIOM 7.1 system. Thanks Axiom!
ive just plugged it in, currently burning them in with a little crowded house. Beautiful!!!!!!" ive been grudgingly listening to music on computer speakers for a few years ( i move around alot) its an absolute delight to hear my music again, not a vauge approximation.
everything looks great. They sound awesome. Thanks for the exceptional service.

I always read the L.A Times obituaries in the California section. When last month I read that Bill Werber the oldest living former MLB player and a teammate of Babe Ruth has died at age 100 I was asking myself "who is now the oldest living former MLB player?" Well, after much research I found out the answer is Tony Malinosky. He is 99, born October 5, 1909 and he briefly played with the Dodgers! Tony played in only one season, 1937, in 34 games total. He lived in Whittier, CA and attended Whittier college in the 30's.
BTW, Bill Werber had the distinction of being the first player to bat in the first televised major league game, leading off for the Reds in a game against the Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets Field on Aug 26, 1939. Occasionally he would write letters to Bud Selig telling him that he did not think women should sing the national anthem, that games today take too long and that he was disgusted with the long hair on modern players. Wonder what he thought about the steriod scandals.
3 weeks ago I was switching channels when I heard as part of highlights of a show in Spanish TV station "Univision" that they were going to cover the oldest living professional player that played in the Negro League. Toward the end of the show they showed Emilio Navarro.
Here is Emilio being honored. Our beloved Newk is aplauding.
He is 103, born September 26, 1905 in Puerto Rico. He still looks healthy doing his morning exercises. He reminded me of Buck O'Neill, so upbeat, happy, friendly and with a wonderful look on life. his highlight for him was throwing out the first ball at Yankee Stadium last year. Pudge Rodriguez caught him. The world needs more people like Buck O'Neill & Emilio Navarro.
This Dodger fan and baseball fan salute you gentlemen! I hope that the two of you get the oportunity to throw out the first ball at Dodger Stadium this year! s
9 Comments
So if Tony Malinosky is the oldest living ex player in MLB, who is the next one?
Well is Lonny Frey at 99! He was born 8/23/1910. He is the oldest to play for the following teams: Yankees, Giants, Cubs & Reds. He also played for the Brooklyn Dodgers as he made his debut in August 29, 1933 and played with our Bums till 1936.
That's some great history and I LOVE history so thank you. That's really cool too about pointing out the inner cities program. I'll have to research that when I am in LA this summer and see it for myself. So two Thank You's!
thanks Tom! I visisted your beautiful stadium last year in April. It was freezing that night. Our luggage was delayed so we headed to the stadium with only what we had on the plane. I had two cups of hot chocolate to warm me up. I am not much into hot chocolate but it sure tasted good that night.
So do you know who is the oldest living ex player for the Rockies?
Will this be your first time in L.A. or do you visit regularly?
thanks Julia! You are my model I am trying to follow. thanks!
Emma- I lived outside of LA in Simi for awhile and have visited LA many times since. No i do not know who the oldest Rockies player is though. I was probably at that April game because I can remember a few cold ones too!
Tom~ I work in Chatsworth and have many friends that live in Simi. The Weaver brothers lived in Simi. I think Jered still lives there.
Bryn Smith 54 born 8/11/1955 is the oldest living Ex-MLB player for the Rockies.
I like the name you selected for your car. Very appropriate!
Thanks Julia for the good news!! Woohoo!!

Channing Tatum Named 'Sexiest Man Alive' By People Magazine
He has captivating eyes, a killer body, and a sweet, romantic streak – plus he can dance, cook, and give a great massage! In this week's special double issue, prepare to be mesmerized by PEOPLE Magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" 2012, Channing Tatum. The 32-year-old actor sat down with PEOPLE and quickly proved how much substance there is behind his piercing green eyes and beyond that chiseled body he bared as a stripper in Magic Mike (inspired by experiences in his younger days). The Alabama-bred star reveals he's a sculptor and a romantic who loves giving massages to his wife, actress Jenna Dewan-Tatum (he gets foot rubs in return). Although Jenna has adjusted to being married to 2012's "Sexiest Man Alive," the actor still can't fathom it. "She calls me that now," he says. "But I can't even say the words!"
Tatum is also a sculptor who quotes Edgar Allan Poe and can't wait to start their family. "I'm ready; I think she's ready," he says. "The first number that pops into my head is three, but I just want one to be healthy and then we'll see where we go after that." "It's really easy for us guys to say, 'I want like 15 kids,'" he continues. "Jenna will be like, 'Well you better get another wife!'"
Currently training to play an Olympic athlete in next year's Foxcatcher, Tatum is all heart and muscle at 195 pounds. "I like to be lean. If I get too bulky I can't move well and I like to move," he says. "When I'm not training, I get really round and soft." Which is just fine by his wife. " People know him to be fun and sexy, but they don't know how emotionally deep and spiritually open he is," says Dewan-Tatum, 31. "He is such an open-hearted person; what you see is what you get."
PEOPLE's 2005 Sexiest Man Alive and Magic Mike co-star, Matthew McConaughey, jokes, "It's probable that he won't return my calls after he wins this award. His ego is going to detonate to mythic proportions." In addition to Tatum, PEOPLE marks the 27th edition of the iconic "Sexiest Man Alive" franchise with Magic Mikes, featuring five famous Michaels – Strahan, Buble, Weatherly, Ealy, and Bolton – who replay scenes from Tatum's hit summer film and reveal what brings out their boom-chicka-boom sides. "I work out five to six times a week," says Strahan, 41. "I get manicures, pedicures, facials, massages. I do it all." The co-host of Live with Kelly and Michael adds, "But I won't get waxed – that looks like it hurts."
James Van Der Beek, star of ABC's Don't Trust the B---- in Apt 23, writes a guide to what is sexy and what isn't in his column, "If I Were the Sexiest Man Alive." "To enforce my new sexy guidelines," Van Der Beek writes, "I'll employ a massive brigade of sexy police. Not only will they be sexy police, but they will be policing sexy…These brave men and women will take to the streets, asking you to replace those pleated khakis with flat fronts, untuck those shirts from your jeans, and shave any unwarranted facial (or back) hair," adding, "And you will gladly comply, because it's patriotic. Remember, if we're not sexy, the terrorists win."
Fifty salt-and-pepper and silver-haired foxes sizzle with style in 50 Shades of Grey, including these handsome celebs with some snow on the roof: Anderson Cooper, John Slattery, Tim Robbins, Craig Ferguson, and Jon Stewart, with several from the political arena: Barack Obama, Andrew Cuomo, Mitt Romney, Joe Scarborough, Rahm Emanuel, and Bill Clinton.
Newbies to PEOPLE's "Sexiest Man Alive" issue include the "Guys from Girls," the hit HBO show starring Lena Dunham. These three men – Alex Karpovsky, Andrew Rannells, and Adam Driver -- explain the strange side effects of starring on TV's raunchiest show. "A lot of guys feel the need to proclaim their sexuality to me," says Driver, 29. "They say, 'I'm straight, I'm 40, and I watch the show.' I'm like, 'Okay, great.'"

Today's global economy has a dark underbelly. Using cutting-edge technology and age-old techniques of deceit and manipulation, corporate spies are the hidden puppeteers of globalized business. They control markets, determine prices, influence corporate decisions, and manage the flow of data and information of some of the world's biggest conglomerates. In an age when international conflicts are as likely to be corporation versus corporation as they are to be nation versus nation, the actions of these remarkably efficient covert operatives raise a host of crucial - and frightening - moral and legal questions.
In his gripping, alarming exposé, Eamon Javers recounts the sordid history of this hidden world - from Allan Pinkerton, the nation's first "private eye" through Howard Hughes's private CIA, to the shocking realities of a vast modern-day spying network with tentacles reaching into virtually every corner of the globe.

"Interesting but not riveting"
I enjoyed the descriptive history of investigation and spying. The employment of taxpayer trained government officials in the private sector working toward whoever pays the highest dollar rather than serving the country is offensive. These spies and mercenaries are no patriots and are owed nothing by their country.
It was well performed.

In early February, not a single person picked Bruce Rauner's name in a Paul Simon Public Policy Institute poll of likely Republican primary voters.
Other polls taken since then have shown the retired financier Rauner in the low single digits in his bid for governor.
But Rauner has been dumping money into downstate TV, the Fox News Channel in the Chicago area, and Chicago and downstate radio. As a result, he appears to be moving some numbers.
A Capitol Fax/We Ask America poll taken June 20 of 1,310 likely Republican gubernatorial primary voters found Rauner at 12 percent. The poll was taken almost two weeks after Rauner began running ads.
Twelve percent was enough for third place. It's tough at this point to gauge just where Rauner's ceiling is. He could zoom way up like the unknown wealthy candidate Jack Ryan did in the 2004 Republican U.S. Senate primary, taking over first place in January and never relinquishing it. Or he could top out like Ron Gidwitz did in the 2006 Republican gubernatorial primary. Like Rauner, Gidwitz started running TV ads in July 2005 and spent millions, but after an early rise, he stopped moving and ended up at only 11 percent.
Rauner's "angry outsider" and anti-public employee union messages might play well with the base, but he also has pro-choice leanings, won't say where he stands on gay marriage, and has close ties to Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel – none of which will be loved by conservative Republicans. If any of his competitors exploit those weaknesses, Rauner's rise could be stopped in its tracks.
Also, only 700,000 to 800,000 people tend to vote in GOP primaries, so the party's old guard tends to have a significant say in the outcome. And, right now, the old guard is mostly with state Sen. Kirk Dillard.
But the poll has Dillard barely in last place of the four gubernatorial candidates tested.
However, pollster Gregg Durham cautioned against reading too much into the results.
"There isn't a single result in here that I would consider as a trend, indication of strength or hint of weakness," Durham said after he conducted the poll. "It's just too early."
And with the poll's margin of error of plus-minus 2.8 percent, it's impossible to say for sure that Dillard is in fourth place.
The poll has Treasurer Dan Rutherford in first, with 22 percent. State Sen. Bill Brady places second with 18 percent, then Rauner at 12 and Dillard with 11. An additional 38 percent said they were undecided. Possible gubernatorial candidate Dan Proft was not tested.
Rutherford has carefully built a statewide campaign infrastructure for the past two decades, culminating in 2010 with his state treasurer win. Brady is on his third race for governor, and his name recognition is still pretty strong after his 2010 loss to Gov. Pat Quinn in the general election. Dillard has been a state party fixture for years and came up less than 200 votes shy of winning the 2010 Republican primary.
Except for Rauner, it's difficult to tell at this point how the candidates are doing with their fundraising. Most candidates in both parties are taking advantage of an obscure but important state law that allows them to hold off reporting contributions until after they deposit the checks. Until they start spending money in a big way and need that cash immediately, we won't be able to track most candidate fundraising between quarterly finance reports. Rauner needs access to his cash because he's spending so much.
Dillard is reportedly telling people that he's on track to raise $200,000 to $300,000 this quarter, while Rutherford apparently plans to report $1 million in the bank at the end of this quarter. But beyond that, we really don't know what's going on.
Also, Rauner has been careful not to go above the $250,000 self-funder ceiling, which would break the contribution caps for all candidates running for governor.
State law is a bit vague on whether a busted cap in one primary would apply to the other, but the executive director of the Illinois State Board of Elections told me last month that his interpretation of the law is that if a candidate in one party busts the cap, then all candidates in all parties for that particular office are no longer constrained by the state's contribution caps.
The poll, by the way, had Rutherford ahead in downstate counties and in suburban Cook, while Brady led in the suburban collar counties and Chicago.

Energy Sector Storm Brewing
I watch the oil futures chart very closely for price and volume action. And the one thing that is clear for oil is that big sellers are still unloading copious amounts of contracts, keeping the price from moving higher. Oil is trading in a very large range and is trending its way back down the lower reversal zone currently. Once price reverses back up and starts heading toward the $100 and $105 levels, it will trigger strong buying across the entire energy sector.
The chart below shows the light crude oil price along with the energy and utilities sectors. The patterns on the chart are clearly pointing to higher prices, but the price of oil must shows signs of strength before that will happen. Once energy stocks (XLE) and utilities (XLU) prices break above their upper resistance levels (blue dotted line) they should takeoff and provide double digit returns.
Looking at the XLU utilities sector above I am sure you noticed the steady rise in the price the last couple of years. This was a result in the low interest rates in bond price and a shift from investors looking for higher yields for their money.
Utility stocks carry below-average risk in the world of equities and pay out a steady and healthy dividend year after year. So this is where long-term investment capital has/is being parked for the time being.
Utility Stock Sector: 2-Hour Candle Chart Time Frame
Last week I covered utility stocks in detail showing you the Stage 1 Accumulation base which they had formed. The chart below shows the recent price action on the two-hour candle chart and recent run up. You can learn more about how to take advantage of this sector here.
Oil and Gas Services: Daily Time Frame
This chart shows a very bullish picture for the services along with its relative strength to oil (USO) at the bottom. While the sector looks a little overbought here on the short-term chart, overall it's pointing to much higher prices.
In short, crude oil looks to be trading in a very large range without any sign a breakout above or below its channel lines for several months at the minimum. But if the lower channel line is reached and oil starts to trend up, then these energy-related sector ETFs should post some very large gains and should not be ignored.

Expand the bottle billFebruary 09,2013
Expand the bottle bill
I would like to raise awareness about an important issue facing the state Legislature this session. The state faces a decision whether to expand, maintain or gut the current bottle bill. The bottle bill is Vermonts most successful recycling program, achieving more than two times the recycling rate of any other program. Studies show that 85 percent of bottles and cans with deposits are recycled as compared with only 35 percent of bottles and cans without a deposit. With only a nickel deposit on each container, this program has achieved incredible success.
The prospect that the Legislature would even consider removing incentives for recycling is alarming, when in fact we should be looking to expand this successful program. A recent study shows that expanding the bottle bill to cover additional beverage containers will recycle nearly 100 million additional bottles and cans each year.
I would like to personally thank Sen. David Zuckerman for co-sponsoring an expanded bottle bill and encourage all Vermont legislators to follow his leadership. Quite simply, its the right thing to do.

This is an exciting time for neurofibromatosis research. During the past decade, researchers isolated the genes that cause the two forms of neurofibromatosis, developed increasingly sophisticated animal models, and learned a great deal about the molecular mechanisms that underlie neurofibromatosis 1 and neurofibromatosis 2. Most importantly, these advances are beginning to suggest potential therapies for these often devastating disorders. These leaps forward were the result not only of the efforts of a talented community of neurofibromatosis researchers but also of the tireless work of advocacy groups working to facilitate and focus research efforts.
The neurofibromatosis workshop held in conjunction with the 30th annual meeting of the Child Neurology Society in Victoria, British Columbia, was a remarkable event. The meeting focused on neurofibromatosis 1, the more prevalent form of the disease. It brought a panel of top neurofibromatosis researchers, clinicians, and patient advocates together with an audience of pediatric neurologists. This was a unique opportunity for researchers to update clinicians regarding their recent discoveries and for clinicians to discuss specific problems that arise in treating patients with neurofibromatosis. In the following sections, I will highlight future research directions suggested at the meeting.
The development of rational therapeutics for neurofibromatosis 1 will require a greater understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying this disease. Although significant strides have been made toward understanding the structure and function of the NF1 gene (also known as neurofibromin), a great deal remains to be learned. For example, the function of a large portion of the neurofibromin protein is completely unknown, and the roles of its different isoforms are not clearly understood. Although it is clear that neurofibromin regulates the Ras signaling pathway, the potential involvement of other signal transduction pathways (e.g., the protein kinase A cascade) is only beginning to be elucidated. Finally, the variable expressivity of the neurofibromatosis 1 phenotype in patients suggests that additional modifier genes have yet to be identified. Genetic studies using the mouse and fruit fly will be critical to achieving this goal and may help identify additional therapeutic targets.
The situation is particularly complex because of the multiple problems different patients with neurofibromatosis 1 experience. For example, although progress has been made toward identifying the regions of neurofibromin important for cognitive function, the mechanisms that lead to learning disabilities, tumor formation, bone abnormalities, and other symptoms are still obscure. To elucidate these mechanisms, it will be critical to determine the role of the NF1 gene in Schwann cells, astrocytes, neurons, and other cell types.
Several investigators discussed the use of animal models and other approaches toward understanding the pathogenesis of neurofibromatosis 1. There is a critical need for more "refined" mouse models of this disease. Different laboratories have begun creating mice in which the NF1 gene is disrupted in specific cell types and/or during specific time windows. Such mice will be essential for understanding the function of neurofibromin in specific tissues and the effect of NF1 loss on the expression of potential downstream genes. Because malignant neurofibromatosis 1?associated tumors likely result from a combination of genetic alterations, investigators are modeling the development of these tumors by creating mice in which multiple genes (e.g., NF1 and P53) are introduced or disrupted. The various mouse strains being developed will serve as critical tools not only for understanding neurofibromatosis 1 but also ultimately for testing candidate therapeutics.
Another strategy discussed at the meeting was the use of micro array analysis. By comparing gene expression profiles in NFIdeficient (i.e., heterozygous or homozygous) and normal cells, additional targets for potential therapeutic intervention may be identified. It will be important to perform such analyses in multiple cell types that may contribute to the neurofibromatosis 1 phenotype.
Neurofibromatosis 1 can be diagnosed using National Institutes of Health (NIH) Diagnostic Criteria, which include specific clinical features and the existence of a family member with the disease. However, because approximately half of all cases are sporadic, diagnosis can be difficult. This is particularly true for young children with no family history of neurofibromatosis 1. In such patients, molecular analysis of the NFI gene can be useful. Current technologies permit a success rate as high as 95% in detecting existing mutations that affect the sequence of the NFl protein or the splicing of its ribonucleic acid.
The importance of natural history studies, which are currently under way, was emphasized at the meeting. Neurofibromatosis 1related tumors often grow slowly, and their progress is currently unpredictable. As mentioned earlier, patients with neurofibromatosis 1 also can exhibit a variety of other symptoms, including learning disabilities, scoliosis, vasculopathy, and growth retardation. The success of clinical trials will depend on selecting as treatment end points clinical features whose progress in the absence of therapeutic intervention is known. Better understanding of the possible clustering of symptoms also will be invaluable for predicting the course of the disease and determining optimal treatment strategies.
Workshop participants described the obstacles that currently block the design of rational clinical trials for neurofibromatosis 1. In addition to the need for more natural history data, many questions need to be addressed. For example, which neurofibromatosis 1related tumors should serve as an appropriate target for therapeutic intervention? Because plexiform neurofibromas are the major cause of morbidity in patients with neurofibromatosis 1, they are obvious targets for clinical trials. Should the goal of future trials be to reduce tumor load or to prevent further tumor growth? How will tumor size and number be measured? Should learning disabilities, which affect a large fraction of patients with neurofibromatosis 1, be a major target of clinical trials? To what extent should other symptoms be assessed in such trials? Should molecular genetic parameters be used to determine which patients are included for treatment? What quality?of?life measures should be incorporated into trials? As potential treatments are developed, these and other issues will need to be resolved.
Although clinical trials of new drugs represent the future for progress in treating neurofibromatosis 1, it is imperative that we not ignore the present. At the workshop, several speakers discussed the efficacy of currently available diagnostic tools and treatments. Members of the audience discussed the merits of diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging evaluation with the panelists, and the advantages and disadvantages of radiation therapy, surgery, and other interventions were explored. In one interesting talk, the speaker speculated about how neurofibromatosis 1 might be diagnosed and treated in the year 2020, both with respect to chronic and episodic features of the disease.
Although current treatments for neurofibromatosis 1 are woefully inadequate, the future holds real promise for the development of more effective therapies. Through a combination of further basic research, translational research, and clinical trials, it is only a matter of time before strategies that are more effective and less invasive are developed. An important theme that emerged at several points during this workshop was that neurofibromatosis 1 research will benefit greatly from research involving other disorders (e.g., cancers, learning disabilities). For example, many of the drugs being developed to treat various cancers are possible candidates for evaluation in fixture neurofibromatosis clinical trials. An equally important theme is that neurofibromatosis research will have tremendous implications for understanding basic biologic processes relevant to many other diseases. It was clear from this workshop that neurofibromatosis research is shifting from primarily basic studies to a combination of basic, translational, and clinical investigation. Meetings such as this one will be important for facilitating communication between neurofibromatosis researchers and the patients they ultimately serve.

WASHINGTON — Longtime Clovis civic leader Doc Stewart on Monday received the 2005 Zachary and Elizabeth Fisher Distinguished Civilian Humanitarian Award in a ceremony at the Pentagon.
Stewart, who has been a community leader in Clovis for almost 40 years, was selected for the Air Force award for his contributions and support for members of the armed Forces and their families, particularly at Cannon Air Force Base, according to a news release from U.S. Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M.
"Doc has been the heart and soul of Cannon's community leadership since 1968," Domenici said. "He has positively affected every major quality of life, infrastructure and training decision at Cannon since that time. His ability to understand and articulate Cannon's strategic position in the overall Air Force mission is critical to what makes Cannon so special."
The Fisher Distinguished Civilian Humanitarian Award is presented annually to an individual or organization that has demonstrated exceptional patriotism and humanitarian concern for members of the United States Armed Forces or their families, according to Domenici's news release.
"It is as if the criteria for the award — patriotism, generosity and selfless dedication to the men and women of the Armed Forces — were written just for Doc," Domenici said.
The award, which is also given by the Army and Navy, is named after Zachary and Elizabeth Fisher. They founded the Fisher House Foundation in 1990 to build "comfort homes" on the grounds of military and Veterans Affairs medical centers to house families of service members and veterans receiving treatment far from their homes.

Three Fox TDs lead PHS past Warren, 51-40
MARIETTA The skies supplied the lightning. Parkersburg delivered the thunder.
Following a 40-minute lightning in their season-opener with Warren Saturday night at Don Drumm Stadium, the Big Reds scored three touchdowns in the span of 71 seconds and defeated the Warriors, 51-40.
The delay occurred at the 8:51 mark of the third quarter and PHS nursing a 17-12 lead. When play resumed, PHS running back Chandler Hamilton received the handoff and raced 24 yards for the touchdown.
A little bit of trickery put the ball right back in the hands of the Big Reds as they recovered the onside kick. As they did to open the scoring, PHS quarterback Aaron Roberts hooked up with Dan Fox for a 35-yard touchdown completion.
Trailing 30-12, Warren didn't do itself any favors when Fox picked off a pass thrown by Warren quarterback Austin Klintworth and returned the interception 19 yards for yet another TD. Josh Roney's point after extended the Big Red advantage to 37-12.
PHS completed its 27-point third quarter when Melvin Stubbs scored on a 24-yard run. Warren's lone TD of the period was the result of a 10-yard carry by Andrew Henthorn.
Warren sliced the gap to 44-26 on Klintworth's 5-yard rush, but an interception by Preston DeBerry of PHS all but sealed the win at the 6:23 mark of the fourth quarter. Because on the Big Reds' ensuing possession, Roberts found the end zone from a yard out.
Parkersburg scored on its first three possessions of the game and built a 17-3 lead midway in the second quarter.
On just the fifth play from scrimmage, Roberts connected with Fox on a fly pattern for a 64-yard touchdown pass. The extra point put the Big Reds in front 7-0 with 10:09 still remaining in the first quarter.
On the ensuing possession, Warren put together a sustained drive and nearly reached midfield when Corey Burdette put a snafu in the Warriors' plans after sacking Klintworth for an 11-yard loss. Two plays later with Warren facing fourth-and-1 at the PHS 42, Andrew Nichols tackled Andrew Henthorn for a 1-yard loss.
That clutch play opened the door for another PHS scoring drive.
The Big Reds ran the ball eight straight plays before the drive stalled, but Roney connected for a 31-yard field goal with 2:46 remaining before the second quarter to extend the lead to 10-0.
Warren drove the ball to the PHS 4, but had to settle for Cole Wigal's 21-yard field goal.
The Big Reds' final points of the first half occurred thanks to Chandler Hamilton, who bounced off several defenders then cut toward the sidelines for a 33-yard touchdown run. Another extra point and the Big Reds led 17-3 at the 7:48 mark of the second period.
Turnovers then posed a problem for PHS as Warren answered with two scores before intermission.
Alex Miller's 52-yard punt for Warren went in and out of the hands of PHS returner Dylan Thomas and Warren's David Ryan recovered the fumble at the Big Reds' 14. Three plays later and Klintworth punched the ball into the end zone from the 1. The extra point kick failed and the Warrior deficit was eight at 17-9.
Ryan provided yet another game-changer with an interception on PHS' next series. With just less than two minutes left before halftime, the Warriors covered 57 yards in eight plays before settling for Wigal's 28-yard field goal as time expired.
