Yes, my AX3's are also square box models. The AX2's you show first are the ones I had planned to buy!
I have a picture of me standing if front of the same instruments that Ian is in front of!
I hae said it many times, while I have had the pleasure to own speakers that had performance greater than my Axioms, the only speakers that have made the journey through life with me are my AX3's.
Here is a story - when I found the brochure, and went to scan for this post, the section with my AX3's pictured had a sticky note on it. "It read 38.82 each, Noreen, Joe Mon-Fri 9-5"
As these have a "lifetime warranty" in 1997ish I had some driver issues and called. I eventually spoke with Joe who told me they revamped all driver sets, and they would replace the damaged ones for free, I could upgrade the others for a small cost.
Talk about customer service, when I PM'ed Ian and said I was coming in Sept and would like them to check my 3's, he said no problem!
