Thank you, Ian, for taking the time to clarify things. Unfortunately, playing devil's advocate for a moment, all this guy is gonna see is that, in his opinion, the graph doesn't match the published specs. Whenever the Axiom name pops up in a thread he will continue to attack and point out speakers, like the Ascend CBM 170, whose graph confirms their published specs. Interestingly, I find the Ascend graph considerably more confusing than any Axiom graph due to the weird vertical dB scale.
Ascend CBM 170 Frequency Response (Anechoic) 69Hz - 20kHz +/- 3dB
Perhaps it would be worthwhile to clearly differentiate between an anechoic frequency response graph, and in-room, or other, frequency response specs.
Montclair, thanks for posting that link. I can't get over the difference between the civilized Audioholics thread, and the vicious AVS thread. Reading Gene's comments sure helped.
