To be fair and for whatever reason, Axiom chose to back out of the sub shootout which I believe was the one back a year or two ago conducted by "Audioholics". This was after Axiom had a pretty good long-term relationship with them that, for reasons only known to the hierarchy at Axiom, quite abruptly ceased.

The reality is for the shootout in question, Axiom was far from the only manufacturer that didn't take part so there was obviously something going on that had many others as well decline to be involved in the process. There are dozens of companies out there and I believe, in the end, Audioholics only conducted the comparisons between, at most, four or five models, hardly a good measuring stick by which to judge which one may be the best.
