One thing that has made Axiom appealing to me over the years is what "Dr. House" mentioned in that, unlike most other speaker companies that will make a number of speaker lines in different categories usually based on driver differences and cabinetry AND of course, price, Axiom has stuck with a linear line of speakers, just in different sizes and an unprecedented choice of finishes, if you want them.

I have always felt in looking at so-called high-end "high priced" speaker lines in retailers, in my mind, much of what you are paying for, other than the mark-ups, is the fancy cabinetry.
I always wondered what an "audiophile" would say if that individual came in to my house to listen to my M80's decked out in a high gloss rosewood or piano gloss finish?
It would be interesting.
