Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners How do the Axiom speakers compare with Emotivas?

I would imagine Bose has a very strict quality control program set in their manufacuturing facility. Its not to often you know somone who owns Bose products talk about them being defective. The problem with Bose is that their business model relies on investing heavily into advertising, something they have mastered and have been very succesful with, rather than focusing on product development. I am sure Bose has some very talented engineers on their payroll, I wonder what they do all day?

Way back in the day, I bought an Acoustimass 10 system from Bose. It started to rattle after about 2 months, and they were very good in replacing the defective "sub-woofer" driver. I have also had problems with my EP800s (because I bought them as prototypes), and Axiom was excellent in sending replacements out.

Now, excellent customer service aside in this comparison, the difference between the two companies in my opinion is that the Axioms sound FAR better than the Bose.

Also, it's the intangibles. When I wanted to upgrade my EP500s to EP800s, Axioms was there and gave me a VERY generous credit. When I hosted an audition for Micah, and he bought his system, Axiom sent me a couple of Franklins my way in credit. This is above and beyond what a company has to do, and again, it's why I will never buy another brand of speaker.

Great post SRoode and I fully agree with your thoughts. Axiom delivers in all areas. They are a wonderful company.

Ah feeel the love!!

It would be interesting to be able to compare the Emotivas to something from Axiom. The Emotivas do get very good reviews.
