Not all of them did,as I have a pair of AX3's from the late 1980's that were not ASW designed. The AX5 had a rear firing built in sub, and the AX3 had a front firing model
I am sure that Axiom must have pics of the older models. I recently found a marketing piece and my factory tour pictures from the 1990 time period. I am working on getting them scanned and posted

Yes, it does....most of it flew by without me finding the pics. I also frequent the board a lot less, so that did not help
I recently moved and when cleaning out closets and such, there they were!!!
I plan to have them scanned - brochure as well - and them figure out how to post them.
Couple of things stuck out when I looked at the Axiom brochure - the slogan "We engineer Pleasure" on the front, and a picture of a youg engineering type, tall thin with a moustache and full head of hair, a young Ian!!! Inside a Post It note that I wrote "$38.82 each, Noreen, Joe Mon-Fri 9-5" I made this when I called to exchange drivers fro my AX3's in approx. 1996!!
As for the factory, it is shocking how it was a real garage operation from the inside!!!

Now you're reminding me of the moustache ride commercial from SNL.

Before this starts to raise the eyebrows of the local constabulary and medical community, let me clarify
The cover has a nice picture of an grouping of speakers with that slogan underneath the picture. The picture of Ian I mentioned has Ian holding a woofer, dressed in a tie, standing beside some electronic equipment.
Something I just noticed was that when I toured, I had a picture of myself leaning against some of the very same equipment!!

Sure, the tour was informal, have a look and don't break the production gear!!!
Not what your twisted mind envisions....unless that was what your tour spiralled into!!! LOL
