With a couple thousand brands of speakers out there, how have we decided to carry the options we carry?

We offer two main families of speakers. Atohm of France an Bryston/Axiom of Canada.

Atohm

Atohm is an audiophile speaker line from France (7 year warranty) with extremely high resolution. The cabinets are domestically friendly because they’re modest in size with a lovely wood finish. The crystalline clarity is right there with the best speakers you can buy. The bass is clean and tight. It doesn’t intrude into the lower ranges of piano and cello.

Atohm is ideal for those of us that love singers and acoustic instruments. I’m a die hard piano hound and absolutely love the Atohm models!

Even the Atohm towers aren’t especially large. The WAF on Atohm towers is very high.

Atohm can rock as well. They can play loudly, unlike almost all competitive Euro speakers. By nature of their sizes, Atohms don’t go as deep as monster towers. If you want THAT along with industry level definition, add an Atohm sub.

Bryston / Axiom

The Bryston / Axiom family is made in Canada. The towers are full sized and deliver a big wallop if you have a powerful amp like an Atoll.

Bryston and Axiom models don’t achieve Atohm’s precise clarity and imaging, but they wield a heavy hammer which may be more valuable to the music you enjoy.

My fave value in the family is the Axiom M100 which is a sizeable tower with multiple drivers- that will slay ya at 30 paces. It is large in stature, image perspective and a heavy hitter in bass response.

The Atohm Sirocco 2.24 is much smaller and domestically friendly. It has exquisite definition and will play to strong volume levels. But if you wanna rock your world with bass, you’ll need to add an Atohm sub. The Axiom M100 is ready to roar on its own- but please mate it with a great amp, like an Atoll. If you run a garden variety Chinese amp, you won’t hear what these big boy speakers can do.

We have the best of both worlds from France & Canada!
