Does anyone have experience with Axiom Audio speakers out of Canada? Would you be willing to share your opinion(s) with me?

Bookshelves less than 400 a pair. Look at some Wharfedale Diamond 10.1s. Hard to beat below 500 unless you go "used".
But by all means listen to the Axioms. I can't say I've heard them but they seem to get good reviews? Don't they also have a "trial" listening program so you can audition them and either keep them or return them?
Good luck!

Having owned Axioms for almost 10 years, I can't imagine better sounding speakers for the money. They are very detailed, and with clean electronics and recordings, sound much better than their price point would indicate. The only down side to them is that if the source material is poor, the Axioms will identify any defects and will accordingly sound worse than other speakers.
Just my $.02 -
Thank you, Paul. What model speakers and what are you using to drive them?Jesus said "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man comes to the Father but through Me." - John 14:6
