No direct connection, Craig, and I suppose none at all unless when Ian was a child(those Goodman's are from about 40 years ago)the name and numbers made an indelible impression on him.

Do an eBay search for "Axiom", you'll see lots of these old speakers on sale. Seems like they were pretty well regarded... like those more recent KEF units where the tweeter is built into the voice coil space. Same idea except no separate tweeter, just two cones on the same voice coil.
The 12" speaker weighs 18 pounds... pretty substantial.

That may not be legally possible.......perhaps another member can give some pro-bono legal info on that.
Also the dictionary says.... AXIOM: "a self evident, or universally recognized truth...etc.(it's not just a "made up" name).
Finally...the people that make the Isuzu Axiom car may object.

I know I've seen these oldies on Ebay quite often. What really made me take note this time was the model numbers. 22, 150 and 80...

Larry, a trademark registered with the Patent and Trademark Office is protected for 10 years and applications can be filed to extend the duration of protection for successive 10 year periods if the trademark is still in active use. I haven't done any exhaustive research on the point, but my impression is that Goodmans stopped making the Axiom speakers something like 30 years ago. If this is the case their trademark protection would have expired at least 20 years ago. Incidentally, the protection only extends to situations which might mislead or confuse the consumer, so there'd be no problem created by the use of Axiom to describe a car while it was also used to describe a loudspeaker.
