Hi Drew and welcome.
Bose is not even in the same league as Axiom, or most other speaker mfg's for that matter. Axiom is audiophile grade, and Bose, at least the Bose of today, is basically an over priced product where your paying for a name. There was a time back in the 60's-70's where Bose made an OK product, but no more.
Think about it, do you really think small cube speakers can give you as good as performance/sound stage as full range audiophile speakers? Is a Chevette as good as a Corvette.
Honestly, your basically comparing apples to oranges. I hope you don't waste your money. Just my 2 cents. Also, if you spend some time on other forums, like AVSforum, you won't get much positive feedback for Bose either. Sorry.
