Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler How did you discover Axiom?

For me it was the banner on the AVS forum

The reviews on Audioholics.

Reviews on AudioReview.com. This unknown-to-me company seemed to have a whole lot of speakers in the top 10 or top 20 list in their respective categories, but priced way less than the competition. Started researching and found this forum. Haven't looked back since.

A banner at Audioreview after seeing the M80's and free shipping IIRC, Then the reviews all over.

My wife mentioned to a friend that I was researching the purchase of new speakers and the friends husband passed on the axiom website. He said that he kept coming across the Axiom name on different reviews. The first time he actually heard them was at my house.

I think it was the ads on Audioholics....

I was going to upgrade my stereo system,...and U.S.A. made 80's JBL speakers. After finding the JBL web site, and their new, black, made in Mexico speaker models.......I KNEW I needed to look for a new speaker company.

I was only able to look on line, now and then at work,.............so it took a while.
I did also look at the local Sound Advice (Tweeters) and (other than the Martin Logans).....I didn't hear anything special.

The speakers were all about the same (to me), at the local Best Buy, and Circuit City.........so, I typed in "speakers" on the web at work, and there,...was the Axiom web site.

Unlike the JBL, (and some other speaker web sites) here, was a site done the way it should be! (as we all know).

I took that proverbial "leap of faith", bought my M60s, and........here I am.

I'm not really sure. I think it might have been a banner at one of those audioholic like sites. I had been slowly been climbing the speaker ladder, going from a pair of Pioneer bookshelf speakers, to a pair of Yamaha towers. It was the Yamahas and my son's insistence that made me start looking at audiophile grade speakers. I did some auditioning and thought I had hit the mother lode with some B&W bookshelf speakers, but alas, this was another wrong turn. It was this last disappointment that made me look at ID speakers, and I spent a couple months on the Axiom board bugging the members until I finally ordered some M22s. I've been an Axiom fan ever since

ads on Audioholics

One of the Audioholics’ recommended systems from last year. After about two months of research on the net and listening to speakers locally I went with Axiom.

Two deciding factors were the positive reviews Axiom was getting and from reading forums. I was very impressed by the honesty and fairness to other systems I was seeing here in the Axiom forum, especially when compared to the occasional nasty comments I was seeing about Axiom speakers in another forum.
