You guys are too easy. There was obviously some shennanigans going on with this "fair" test, or our reporter is advancing some anti-Axiom agenda.
The description of how the Axioms sound in comparison to the Energys is simply NOT possible. Nobody who has ever heard Axiom speakers would describe their sound thusly. One may like them or hate them, and sometimes one may do both - I seem to fall in and out of love with my M60s on a daily basis - but that description is completely and utterly bogus.
Giving the original poster the benefit of the doubt, my guess is the salesman hooked up the speaker wires backwards.
And if you are considering an Axiom purchase find someone to demo them with or order M3s as a sampler - return shipping on those is very small. Certainly do not give any creedence to the description above.
