The A1400-8 Amplifier wins a Reviewer's Choice Award from Home Theater Sound!
"Not only was it amazingly powerful, but its transparent, open sound was immediately involving, and didn’t lose its appeal over the long term. . . I could easily live with the Axiom as the sole source of power for my reference system. Considering both the quality and quantity of sound that the Axiom A1400-8 provides for $3850, it’s one heck of a bargain."

"The Axiom M60 v2 performs so far above its price that it might be the best speaker bargain today for under $1000/pair. The M60 v2 will draw you into your most-loved music, electrify your listening room with its seemingly boundless dynamic range, and re-create music in so tangible and lifelike a way that you’ll probably find yourself spending more time listening to music than you did before. The Axiom M60 v2 delivers not just good sound, but great sound. It’s one of the best speaker values on the market today." -- Philip Beaudette, GoodSound.com

GamePro Editor's Choice Winner:
"How does it perform? In a word: amazing."
"The Audiobyte set delivers performance that you'd expect out of a truly high-end system; no surprise considering Axiom's been in the high-end audio market for a long time. The audio is crystal clear and we didn't have to turn up the volume much to get it to the point where people on the other side of the office were complaining about the racket. The subwoofer also provides a nice, deep bass response. All in all, the Audiobyte pumps out some amazing audio that really brought out the best in our music, games and movies." Editor's Choice - Tae Kim, GamePro.com

"[The Algonquin's] ability to give you a full spectrum of sound, solid bass extension, and plenty of efficiency and power handling makes them ideal for those looking for quality bookshelf-type speaker systems for their gaming room or covered barbeque area. . . the Algonquins would really draw attention to themselves to visiting friends who aren’t accustomed to having high fidelity sound outdoors. Axiom’s color matching, unparalleled customer service and generous return policy makes them a safe buy for anyone not sure if these speakers are right for them."

We were thrilled to receive a Sound&Vision Editor's Choice Award at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this month. Sound&Vision said "what sets Axiom's Epic 80/500 rig apart from many others is its extraordinary value: For a bit more than 3 grand, you get a great-looking system that combines detailed, neutral sonics with the kind of bass extension and dynamics you'd expect only from much more expensive speakers."

Reviews of the new Audiobyte Computer Speakers are coming in and we're so pleased with the response!
"So how did they sound? Much better than I expected… they ARE audiophile quality. It’s not that I don’t expect great things from Axiom, it’s just that small speakers have limitations due to the laws of physics and have a hard time reproducing a full, believable midrange. The Audiobytes were demonstrated with classical music, the hardest test of any speaker and the sound was smooth, sweet, full, and clear… definitely the best I’ve heard from any computer speaker, including my Monsoons… which I thought would NEVER be beaten in their class." -- Don Lindich, SoundAdvice

What's New
Axiom Environmental Chamber Simulates Extreme Climates
One of the newer additions to Axiom’s testing regimen is a special temperature and humidity chamber that can duplicate sweltering tropical heat and humidity or dry, freezing conditions—basically, any weather that an Axiom loudspeaker or amplifier is likely to encounter during its travels and residence anywhere on planet Earth.
The chamber, pictured here with Axiom Electrical Engineer Tom Cumberland inside preparing to be roasted by the heat and humidity he used to endure in Miami, Fla., is a Tenney model TH65SPL. It’s big, measuring 54 x 54 x 72 inches, and can be set to any temperature from –20 degrees Celsius to +100 degrees C (that’s –4 degrees Fahrenheit to 212 degrees F, respectively), and from 20% to 98% relative humidity. Because of its generous size, the chamber can also be used to test our largest speakers and subwoofers, Axiom electronics or even to subdue a rebellious Axiom employee. – A.L.

Criterion Selects Axiom Speakers for Screening Room Remodel
Axiom was thrilled to be selected as the home theater of choice for Criterion's new high-definition screening room. Criterion, the Remastering company that is famous for issuing definitive versions of DVD movies with correct letterboxing and commentary tracks - features of DVDs that Criterion pioneered - recently remodeled its New York Park Avenue office and screening room and selected Axiom's Epic 80 - 500 5.1-channel home theater speaker system for the new high-definition screening room's audio system. Originally hoping to use the home theater screening room as a consumer-grade lab, they soon found themselves doing quality control testing of D5 master tapes on the system.

Hurst selected Axiom to help provide high definition digital transmission services to the Sports & Entertainment industry.
When Hurst USA Sports and Entertainement needed to outfit their newest High Definition satellite broadcasting truck to take on the road to major sports and entertainment events, they selected Axiom for their in-truck audio needs.
Said John Bright, Director of Operations: "My clients have been raving about the quality of the audio system in the truck. Many have stated it is far above anything they are used to hearing in a satellite truck."
The Axiom Epic Midi v 175 system was used for the 2008 ESPN Winter X Games, The 50th Annual Grammy Awards and 2008 NBA All Star Weekend in New Orleans among other events.

The new T-Series In-Wall / In-Ceiling Speakers are launching!
The long-rumoured T Series is launching this month! Audiophiles can now enjoy award-winning Axiom sound in a discrete enclosure that blends seamlessly into any décor. Place them in the ceiling for a practically invisible sound solution, or mount them along side a flat panel display for a sleek modern look.
Over the next several months we anticipate adding the T80 (perfect for building into an entertainment center) and T150 to round out the series. Choose your finish - the T2 (T for Thin) comes in Eggshell White, Black, Silver, or a Paintable version, with coordinating cloth or paintable metal grilles. The Paintable version comes with a jig so that you're just painting the edges that can be seen after the grille is put on - no need to remove parts to paint the speaker! Learn more about the latest addition to the Axiom line up.
