Curious claim? Do you believe that Amie lied or is not knowledgeable about the products? If she did not know all she had to do was ask Ian. She has probably known for years. I wonder how many emails she gets ever week asking her if it matters.

Axiom made a public statement about their product. Your hypothesis is based on "other speakers" and is not backed up by any measurements on Axiom speakers that you have read about or performed yourself.
