I think axioms approach is to make a speaker that sounds great, looks good, and sell it at a low cost... and I think they do that very well. I don't think an exotically shaped cabinet fits into this business model very well. I'd much rather them devote their resources to continuing and make sound improvements to existing speakers, develop new products, etc. than to try and figure out how to make their speakers look like some other brand. For those that want to pay more money they offer some very nice finish options.

JohnK, good point about the Teardrop shape. I imagine that 99% of customers would not notice any audible difference though. I'm sure they would all notice the price increase on the other hand.
