Hi, I've read SO many great things about Axiom speakers recently so I decided to do some additional research on them.

I noticed that you use a rather light vinyl veneer for the speaker casing. I know this saves a LOT of money on production costs, but doesn't a vinyl veneer generally degrade the sound?

Also, I read that you don't use dampening materials within the speaker but rather you cut the speaker asymetrically. How does this improve the sound quality?

Next, I see where you use titanium and aluminum as the tweeter and woofer materials. Isn't it true that these materials generally create highs that can be almost piercing sounding? How do you control the highs so that they're not too harsh without degrading the sound? Thanks so much for your help!!
