In thinking further, they may have a policy against this so as to never be accused of fudging a demo in their favor. I could understand that as well.

Either way, Axiom has that 30 return policy that allows you to take them home and demo them against as many speakers as you want. Like them, I'm confident you will keep them against anything you will find local in the same price range.

With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.
