About the Axion
The Axion takes its name from a Greek word meaning 'worthy', and from the elusive, very light particle proposed to explain dark matter. It is a three-way open-baffle dipole with very low mass: according to MATTER the lightest and smallest three-way open-baffle loudspeaker yet, with real musicality, immersive naturalness and an airy, riveting soundstage.
Three 8-inch woofers, a 6-inch midrange and an AMT tweeter are mounted on birch-plywood baffles. The standard finish is black Formica, with other Formica colours on request.
The Axion premiered at the HXOS EIKONA Show 2025 in Athens.
