Welcome Olderbutweiser
I also haven't heard the Axioms but what sold me on them was the positive professional reviews, the vast background knowledge of the Axiom team(also very helpful), the great pricing, people on this forum and of cause the 30 day money back offer from Axiom. Seams like a winning combination to me
Ask lots of questions on the Axiom forum...because there is so much knowledge here from all the HT owners. I'm sure they will guide you in a fun direction.
