Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Canadian/US web site differences?

Apologies if this has already been answered - or if things chance before I get this posted

I have been browsing the web site, and I notice that, at least at the time of posting, there are some differences between the English US & Canadian site. For example, there are more HT options on the US site, and that some of listed specs for certain speakers include frequency response curves that don't appear on the Canadian site.

Are these HT offerings only available to US customers or is this simply a case of the web site updates being "in progress" (I totally understand that, managing a web site myself!)

One further question regarding the curves: are these anechoic measurements for on-axis response?

Thanks for any info!

I seem to remember a discussion about this recently. I do believe Amie from Axiom mentioned that they are in the process of making some changes to the websites. Not sure why the changes have not been replicated to the Canadian version. I think the offerings are worldwide, but I'm sure you could email Axiom for a accurate response.

Can't help ya on the on-axis question, I"m sure others will chime in soon...

The quickest way I can tell which site I am on.

1. US site: "Axioms give a clear transparent window to the performance."

2. Canadian site: "Axioms give a clear transparent window to the performance eh?"

Sorry, couldn't resist.

hoser!

The US site was revamped first; I imagine the Canadian site will look like the US site some time soon. As others have pointed out, translating from American to Canadian is time-consuming, expensive and painstaking work

If I had to *guess* why the delay, I imagine the Axiom team is working on having a single copy of the web pages with the right prices etc... pulled in depending on locale, rather than multiple sets of pages each having to be maintained independently.

Thanks guys - I'm sure it is just a case of finding a skilled translator

Fortunately I've spent enough time in the states that I've learned to read "American" reasonably well!

Hello;

Yup, we're doing as fast as we can on all the sites - but it's sunny in Canada and that means less time working, more time in 'meetings' on the dock.

The graphs are anechoic on-axis responses.

And to my accented ears, I always thought the call was Koo-Rooo-ko-ko-ko-ko, but maybe it's a regional thing . . .

TNTguy, nice use of the 'eh'!

take off you hose head

"Bob and Doug McKenzie" rule
