I would like to make an observation.
It seems that when it comes to "opinions" about audio products in general, we all have one.
That being said, I have noticed lately that it seems like more and more posts are from people that have little, or no personal experiece with said product.
Most of the members are well informed, and quite interesting, helpful, etc.........BUT......it would help me if those who are not sure of what they are posting about.....would mention that.
Ie., "brand x is, or is not a good product because....I owned one and here's why", or my friend had one......etc, NOT just opinion for the sake of opinion, or "parroting" something they heard, or read.
The same for posting "bogus" things about Axiom, (someone here once posted that axiom also made "speakers" for other Canadian mfgs.) and their products....unless of course it's a new, and/or interesting FACT.
I hope this doesn't sound like a rant, (I do enjoy this forum)...but I KNOW many depend on this for factual information on all kinds of related (and non-related) subjects, and I would hate to see anyone, (especially newbies) (inadvertently "misled".

i hope you wernt "misled", which was the cause of your post?
the only time i really mention advice on equip that i dont own, is when it is something that has been mentioned or discussed on here so many times, i feel like i have owned it.
EXAMPLE #1- the discussion between which receiver to get? onkyo, denon, HK, yamaha, pioneer elite, sony ES, integra, etc.. i have read enough reviews, and seen enough chat, that i feel somewhat educated on the pro's and con's of each receiver.
EXAMPLE #2- subs.. SVS, HSU, Velodyne, Paradigm, Earthquake, Vega, Dayton, etc.. same here.. i have read just about all i could want to know about these subs. and i DO try and clarify that i speak from what i have read, not what i have heard.
but i understand where you are coming from. i think your request, or advice, will be taken to heart.. that is, if it dont piss nobody off

Axiom used to manufacture speakers (Merak) that were sold through Canadian Radio Shack stores. Not a bogus story at all.

Here's some info on Merak http://merak.ca/history.html.
Not sure if they are still being produced.

If you're looking for unbiased, 100% accurate information on the internet you're in trouble.
