Dean, you make many valid points here. I think Axiom wants to put the best possible sound in as many people's hands as they can. The fact that they use the same tweeters across their entire line, and the same mids and woofers across most of their line is an example of this -- and contrasts with other manufacturer's multi-tiered approach.

There was no fanfare when they changed from their previous tweeter. Ian's philosophy, when he discovers an improvement to his current line, is "Why wait?" He doesn't save up a bunch of improvements for the next model year. They go in right away.

The one downside of this is that it leads to some confusion among people who follow Axiom closely -- Hi! \:\) -- like not being sure about the difference in the v2 designation and previous designations.
