Somebody has to listen the speakers and 'voice' them. Not a bad job especially if you own the company.

I agree that Axioms sound better than many "high end" speakers. When I refer to 'iconic' speakers I mean speakers known for their sound quality. Many are very expensive. Some, not so expensive.



Frequency response curves and measurements are the only objective tools I know of to compare speakers. Everything else is subjective. Having said that, the subjective part is important too, otherwise Axiom would not incorporate DBT's.
