Hi, I'm very interested in the Axioms but I like to at least hav an idea what they sound like. For music I dig really warm sound like the Sonus Faber Concertinos, and the Dynaudio 42SE, and I currently have Paradigm 9SeMk3.

What other speakers can I listen to here in San Francisco that give me an idea of the tone of the Axioms?

Or better yet, does anyone here live in San Francisco and have an Axiom Grand Master 5.1 set that I could listen to?

Thanks!

try the B & W 700 series. 5 times the price, nearly identical sound.

briliant marketing prevails once again

Of course, there are a number of us in the Bay Area... Have a look in the Questions and Comments board in the Auditions thread.

Some compare them to Paradigm Studios.

I demoed the Wharfedale Evo 20's and Paradigm Mini Monitors and 7's. The Axioms are a MUCH better value. I also listened to and liked the Monitor Audio Golds, but those are much more $$$.

I'm in Menlo Park and have an Epic Grand Master, M22's, VP150, QS8's and VTF2.

That would be great if I could hear them. Please email me and we can arrange a time. rodger at teutonic dot com.
