Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Where Did You Hear About Axiom?

I was Curious as to where everybody originally heard about Axiom Speakers.

As for myself I read an online review from goodsound.com and I continued my research at avsforum.com which is where I learned about the website here.

Peter (pmbuko) bought some. I had originally seen the ads in the Audio Revolution newsletters.

I think it was a SoundStage.com review that first intrigued me. I was in my best-of-Circuit-City stage and was pretty pleased with my Harman Kardon AVR 65 driving a pair of -$3,000 Infinity Composition Overture 3 towers, Infinity CC3 center and RS3's in the side surround positions.

Then I stumbled on an auction for the Merak MC6H center channel speaker and read it was made by Axiom, so I picked one up from ubid.com for $19 on a whim. The Merak had that weird Axiom shaped cabinet, twin 6.5" drivers and a horn tweeter which when you took it apart looked like it must have cost Axiom about $1.39. I didn't expect much when I tried them out. Knock me down with a feather! This Merak center sounded better than the expensive Infinity CC3 center, not by a little, but a lot. So, I ordered a pair of M3Tis, and they blew the Infinity Overture 3 towers away. I had never heard the likes of these little jewels.

I sold my Infinities. I sold my HK receiver and it's been all Axiom or Axiom made speakers for me ever since.

During my first search of speakers, I was perusing the Bose reviews at Audioreview.com and someone made a list of speakers that sound better than the 901's for the price. I checked out all of the speakers he listed and Axiom was one of the speakers on the list.

hometheaterforum.com while looking for reviews about speakers in general. Then the spot and avs forum and checked out audioreview.com as well.

ARS Technica Forums

I heard about them at Audioreview.After that I read every review I could find.

This desire of mine to upgrade my old technics floorstanders started with my son. He had purchased PSB 5ts and he kept telling me my Technics were doo doo. I started to see that he was right. So, the search was on. After a couple failed attempts at an upgrade I started looking around the web for an answer. I believe I found Axiom by clicking on one of those banner ads over at audio review. Wowie, I had found a new forum at axiomaudio.com. And the rest of the story is lost wages.

Greetings,
I initially found Axiom's website on an ordinary search for home theater. Later on, a recommendation from Paul at The Home Theater Spot convinced me that they were for real.

Coworker told me: "Take a good look at Canadian speakers"
Did search on the web, saw reviews and took chances.
