Nice to see that Axiom is right up there. Two things I noticed. I never knew that JBL was so good. I've heard a number of them here with a couple of friends and in some coffee shops. They're pretty small and throw out big sound but lack in midrange. Nothing too great to gloat about. Maybe I'm totally wrong or have heard only some specific models.

I'm also thinking about the absence of VMPS in the list. I've heard a few people rave so much about it. They've also won the CES award 2 times in a row and they're supposed to be superb. Just a thought....
