I've been on this board for years, and I've never read a post indicating that someone was unhappy with the condition of their factory outlet speakers. Ok, I think there was one person a few months back, but I think the problem was that a wire had come loose during shipping - which can happen to regular stock too. Quite the contrary, everyone seems astonished at the
lack of flaws from f/o speakers.
You have nothing to fear from factory outlet Axioms.
However, I've never ordered from the outlet. Patience is a virtue that I lack.
