Welcome Revere,
As sirquack says, I'm over near the airport, but I'm a former Axiom owner so I won't be much help to you. However, I've remained a devoted fan of the company, the people, and the product, and I think of most everybody here on the forum as friends.. I can assure you, you need have no concerns about Axiom customer service. It is top notch.
I was just up at Craigsub's house last Sunday, and I heartily recommend you make the two hour drive to give his Axioms a listen. However, I also recommend you wait to make the trip until AFTER these Alberta clippers that are gonna hit us over the next 3 days pass by.
I believe he has some experience with Energy and Klipsch as well, and should be able to give you some excellent insight into all the speakers that interest you.
