Axiotech isn't an authorized Klipsch dealer as far as I know, (please correct me if I'm wrong!). Because of this, Klipsch will not honor their warranty. Similar to Sony, you can only get your warranty honored if you purchase the speakers from a Klipsch authorized dealer or Klipsch directly. (BestBuy and the like are considered authorized dealers). Just thought I'd add this note in since I had to RMA my Klipsch 4.1's and thankfully I bought from an authorized dealer.
