Remember too, that NO demo, of Axioms or B&Ws, will necessarily tell you how they'll sound in your room. This is why the best dealers offer a 30 day trial, including Axiom.

I'm not sure if it's still true, but Axiom's return shipping address was in Buffalo, NY (I think) when I bought mine sight-unseen. Even if I didn't like them, shipping them back was a pretty small consideration. Of course I, like almost everyone else, keeps them for good reason! \:\)
