AX-1 

AX-1.1



Michael Joseph of AEX Labs recently sent me some literature about their line of speakers. They have an interesting design and impressive specs. Look forward to trying them out  soon.

AX-1.1    Dual 8" 2 way nearfield monitor
The AX-1 "The Axe" is small in size yet huge sounding, and will provide 100 DB of world class sound with an amazing ability to finesse and astound at the same time. The AX-1 is a 2-way, bi-amp, active monitor, built and designed to be completely accurate and flat. The AX-1 will reproduce audio with extraordinary realism and clarity.
