Once again, keep in mind that many of the Canadian speaker manufacturers(Axiom, Paradigm, PSB and others) in their initial stages, "cut their teeth" at the National Research Council in Ottawa in their Anechoic chamber to come up with their designs.In essence, they were all striving for as neutral a sound as possible, so other than individual "quirks" and cabinetry designs, there will be a similarity in sound between all of them.
Unlike the others listed, over the years, as we all know, Axiom chose a different marketing strategy and as a result their speakers are generally better value.
