Because I like their internet-direct approach and they are located in Portland, I've often considered trying out some Aperion speakers.
However, they've only been making speakers for a few years and have not produced tower speakers even that long. Also, a fairly high percentage of their manufacturing takes place overseas. This may not matter to you, of course.
By comparison, Axiom is an R&D company that has been in business for about 20 years, and has been refining both their designs and their Canadian manufacturing facility that entire time. I think that probably counts for something.
