Look friends, I don't know Gene and I don't know Ian. I enjoy Axiom speakers. Personally, I've stayed away from their subs.

Nevertheless, the facts seem to suggest that Axiom retaliated against Audioholics' efforts to include Axiom in a shootout. Perhaps Audioholics made the announcement that they would include Axiom subs in their shoot out before Axiom had agreed, or after Axiom changed its mind.

It is clear ... Axiom pulled its sub out of the comparison, and pulled its advertising. You can connect the dots as you will. For me, I don't think it reflects well on Axiom or on the EP subs.

As to whether KC gives "credence"
