I first saw Axiom products back many years ago when they were still selling them in retailers and I was quite curious as to the unique cabinet design. It wasn't until later when they went strictly the IO route and I saw the countless choices of cabinet finishes that I got REALLY interested. The company's background in R&D was similar to Paradigm and PSB(two other notable Canadian companies)so I knew the sound would probably be somewhat similar, however, the Axioms were more competitively priced in similar categories.
Aperion speakers are quite good as well, however, they are made in China and from time to time, inventory, especially with new products, can be problematic. Axiom is a long standing Canadian company that does ALL their manufacturing in Canada, something that is pretty unique in the CE industry today and that is another good reason why they get my full support.
