Asher, I agree with Bridgeman and had some of your thoughts also.

I don't remember ever seeing an Axiom speaker reviewed in some of the popular mags either... Sound and Vision, Home Theater, etc.... and that concerned me a bit before I ordered my Axioms.

But as Bridgeman said, Axiom doesn't advertise in mags such as those. I don't think that mean that those mags are in "Cahoots" with the manufacturers... though I certainly don't see many negative reviews. I think it's more that Axiom is simply not a "high profile" manufacturer. Let's face it: Percentage wise, there are more readers that are likely interested in an Infinity, JBL or Bose review than a manufacturer that they've never heard of.

I think it's a lot like radio airplay: There's some good stuff out there that many people never hear of because it's not high-profile, and of course it never becomes high profile if people don't hear about it, so it's a vicious circle.
