Could you give us your definition of "high end"? Each of us probably has a different definition of "low end," "mid range," and "high end," based on a variety of parameters, including budget, aesthetics, etc.
There are speakers available that cost over 100 times as much as Axioms. Are they superior to Axioms? Some, probably; others, probably not. Are any of them 100 times superior to Axioms? I doubt it.
What I CAN tell you is that Axioms are a heck of a good value. They are in a class with some excellent speakers, many of which cost much more. But, within that class, speakers will have slightly different sonic signatures. Which particular speaker in that class YOU would prefer is a purely subjective decision, and only YOU can make that decision.
