A lot of folks on here did a lot of shopping and ended up perfectly happy with the Axioms. My job prevents me from doing a lot of shopping, so I figured that I would trust the judgement of the people posting their experiences with Axiom on here.
Most of the speakers I hear at other people's houses always sound fine in the low and mid ranges to me, but none of them seem to do a really good job with the higher stuff. That is one complaint that I've never heard about Axiom speakers. I just assumed that they would suit my taste.
They did.
