This is from an email Alan sent me not too long ago, when I asked him where the drivers were made:

...woofers, midranges, and tweeters are built in an Axiom owned facility in Shanghai, the exception being the aluminum cone woofers used in the EP500/600/800 subs...these are built mainly in Axiom's Dwight, Ontario plant....Design, engineering and testing of all drivers is done in the Ontario plant...the woofers and midrange are all aluminum-core units, the tweeters are titanium-aluminum composite dome...

I guess the key words here are, Axiom owned. They don't appear to sub out the work, giving them greater control over quality and product. \:\)
