Listen to your music, instead of your equipment. If they sound good, reliable, and affortable, then who care if they were made in Africa or Thailand? Axiom has been in business for awhile and how often do you hear people complaint about their woofer or tweeter being burned out or blown? seldom. Most of the time those accidents were cause by user error or hardcore abuse anyway, shipping damaged doesn't count either. Sometime these folks really crack me up when they try to avoid buying audio gears made in 3rd world country, but atleast 50% of their houseware and electronic are made in China!! Turn around your computer monitor, mouse, or the keyboard you're using now, and look for the label. That's right...MADE IN CHINA!! LOL :-)
