I wouldn't think so. I figure the review must have been done before Alan joined Axiom.
If you look at the bottom of the web pages they're from 2001. I've now idea if he was associated with the company(ies) at that time. Perhaps it was like that guy from Remington. He liked the speakers ( razors ) so much he decided to ( buy ) join them...

Anyways, I mostly appreciated the history link

giving a bit more background info on Ian and the development of his speakers.
