You are correct, I think, however I don't know what year Axiom changed the box shape on it's apeakers. The Axiom speaker that one the award in 1986 was the AX1.5 (non tapered box). I owned this one for 2 months before as the AX2's were on back order.

I liked the 2's better than the 1.5's, simply because they had a better bottom end.
