Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler How did you discover Axiom?

To expand on my statement that I discovered axiom through a banner on the AVS forums...I've been looking for dipole/bipole speakers and saw the QS8 on a banner on the AVS forums. I was curious so I read some reviews and now I'm saving to buy a pair (my first axiom venture).

Haha, I love reading some of these posts. It's almost like reading peoples testimonials and "how they found Jesus".

Amen brother!

Once I decided to get into this whole HT hobby and replace 15-20 year old equipment, I did my normal in-depth (some might call it obssessive) research.

I went into every HT forum I could find and read the speaker threads. Narrowed down the choices and then searched for reviews and user comments. Axiom popped up quite regularly and with positive comments.

The clincher was when I saw several comments about the M60s sounding very much like B&W 703s (they do) and then went to listen the 703s. Wow, sold.

I new I wanted new speakers and I had heard we Canadians make some good products. So I typed "Canadian speakers" into google. Lo and behold, Axiom came up.

Ya, I wanted Canadian speakers too, while researching I came across Axiom through audioholics shootout of the M22 with 4 other bookshelf models (one priced at $1500) and the Axiom came out on top overall for $400 at the time (inflation now!)

That review sold me 100%. And I have been selling my friends on Axiom ever since!

I found out about Axiom from the AVS forum and then was sold on the speakers from reading the Axiom forum!

I honestly don't remember, but I know it was from searching on the web. I did own Paradigms previously, and also enjoyed the sound of PSB speakers, so I suppose the whole Canadian thing was already heavy on my mind.

I just kinda stumbled into the forums. I think it was via a Google search on another speaker and it coughed up a "Speaker A vs. M60, please advise" link to the forums here.

I was actually looking for an entertainment center and found the review of the BDI Axis series on Audioholics. I liked the way the way the Axis Congnac matched the Axiom Boston Cherry in the pic/link below. After reading the reviews on Axiom, the rest is history.

I had been researching speakers on the internet, mainly through the cnet.com site, where someone mentioned avsforum. Then, reviews through audioholics via avsforum pointed me to the axiom brand. The EP500 and QS8 reviews were enough for me to investigate further, and go for the M22 Epic Grand Master package.
