for $100 bucks I don't think you can go wrong but be carefull these are the ones that don't have removable grills ! I have seen them before. I had the chance to get these or the ax3's. I went with the ax3's because I was amazed at the sound quality and I could see the drivers .. lol .. if you look around, some of axioms older stuff is amazing!! but in regards to the Ax series .. Ax1 book shelfs, and center and AX3 or Ax5's and Ax500 suds are great .. there was a pair of Ax3 selling for 200 bucks on kijiji up here in canada, which is a steel in my opinion ..
