Coming soon to a salon near you . . . Axiom will be demonstrating its ‘top secret’ new stereo and home theater speaker at the 25th annual Salon Son et Image in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, March 23-25th. The speaker, over 10 years in the making, is a combined effort of Axiom president and founder Ian Colquhoun, and engineer Andrew Welker.
