Ouch! Wasn't Axiom a OEM for radio shack speakers at one point?

I think some RS stores in Canada offered Axiom speakers (maybe when they were under the Merak(sp?) name), but I don't think Axiom made RS or Realistic-branded speakers....

Yes, Dr. H, Axiom made the Merak line of speakers which they sold through Radio Shack Canada. They used either Axiom's horn tweeter or the same 3/4" titanium tweeter Axiom previously used in the M0, M1 and M2 speakers. (A great tweeter, BTW.)
I grabbed a bunch of Merak center channel speakers (MC6...) because they used a stout trapezoid shaped cabinet (like the Axiom centers) and a 6.5" driver with either the 3/4" Ti Tweeter or the Horn. These were great center channel speakers.
I modded all my Merak centers by swapping the Merak 6.5" out and Axiom 6.5" aluminum drivers in their place. I swapped the TiTweeter from one with the tweeter from a de capo mm and its resistor/capacitor and the 6.5"s with the Axiom aluminum drivers.
Sound is ridiculously good.
