I agree with you grunt. There is a lot of mis/disinformation and half truths spread about Axiom but it is very common in the audio community in general, not just with Axiom. Some companies fanboys are just more viral than others. What is ironic is if you look at the problems and some of the accusations that have surfaced in regards to some of those "problems" you mentioned it sure looks to me that there has been a lot of positive dis/misinformation spread in their favour over the years as well.
