$245.00
Thirty-six inches tall on an eight-inch baffle: two 5.25-inch woofers and a 1-inch dome tweeter, wired 2.5-way so both woofers carry the midbass but only the upper one continues into the midrange.

Bring classic Canadian hi-fi performance into your system with these Axiom CT-60 floorstanding speakers—slim, 36-inch tall towers designed and built in Canada and voiced in the tradition of Axiom’s NRC-inspired engineering. Featuring a 2.5-way, 3-driver configuration with dual 5.25″ woofers and a 1″ dome tweeter, the CT-60 delivers balanced, articulate sound with surprising bass authority from a compact footprint. With rear-ported enclosures, fixed cloth grilles, and gold-plated 5-way binding posts, these towers combine practical home-theater versatility with the neutral, detailed sound Axiom is known for. Tested and confirmed fully functional, they are an excellent choice for music or movies in a small-to-medium room.
Design and Sound:
The CT-60 follows Axiom’s long-standing design philosophy: accurate, wide-bandwidth sound from a relatively compact cabinet. At 36 inches tall and only 8 inches wide, each tower has a small footprint yet enough internal volume to deliver satisfying bass without relying on a subwoofer for everyday listening. The 2.5-way crossover design allows both 5.25-inch woofers to reproduce midbass, while only the upper woofer extends into the critical midrange frequencies—reducing intermodulation distortion and creating a more cohesive sonic image. The 1-inch dome tweeter handles high frequencies with the smooth, extended response that characterized Axiom’s collaboration with Canada’s National Research Council.
The rear-firing port extends low-frequency response while keeping the front baffle clean and décor-friendly, and the fixed front grille gives a tidy, understated look that blends easily into most living rooms. At 89dB sensitivity, the CT-60 is reasonably efficient, working well with amplifiers from modest vintage receivers (25+ watts) up to modern integrated amps and AVRs delivering 100 watts or more.
Placement and Use Cases:
Standing 36 inches tall with a modest 8-inch wide baffle, the CT-60 works well:
Main Left/Right Speakers – Stereo vinyl or streaming setup with genuine full-range performance.
Home Theater Front Channels – Timbre-matches well with other Canadian designs of the era.
Living Room / Den / Media Room – “Real speaker” dynamics without a visually imposing cabinet.
Rear ports prefer a bit of breathing room—ideally 8–18 inches from the back wall—allowing the bass alignment to work as intended while preserving clarity and imaging. Gold-plated 5-way binding posts provide a solid connection for bare wire, spades, or banana plugs.

Sound Character:
The CT-60 embodies the “Canadian school” of speaker design—neutral tonal balance, wide dispersion, and honest reproduction. The dual 5.25-inch woofers provide more cone area than a single 6.5-inch driver, yielding tighter, more controlled bass with better power handling. The 2.5-way crossover reduces the burden on each driver, allowing the upper woofer to focus on clean midrange while both woofers combine for solid low-frequency foundation. Expect a presentation that is open, detailed, and fatigue-free—ideal for long listening sessions with vinyl, streaming, or Blu-ray soundtracks.
Condition:
These CT-60 towers are in good overall cosmetic condition, with light wear consistent with age and responsible use. The fixed front grilles present cleanly, cabinet edges are intact, and there are no structural issues. Both speakers have been tested and verified: all three drivers output cleanly with no rubbing, buzzing, or distortion, and the rear ports and binding posts are intact and secure. Ready to drop into your system and enjoy.
Summary:
The Axiom CT-60 towers offer an appealing blend of Canadian engineering, slim floorstanding form factor, and neutral, room-friendly sound. For listeners who value clarity, imaging, and honest tonal balance over exaggerated “boom and sizzle,” they make an excellent choice as the backbone of a stereo or home-theater system—especially when paired with a quality Canadian or Japanese receiver. With dual woofers, 2.5-way design, and 89dB sensitivity, they deliver full-range performance that punches well above their modest size.
