After that thread got locked, I decided to do some more investigation myself, and pretty much got the same explination that Ian gave. Unfortunatly, if I post it, it will create another bad thread because I have no hard evidence.

I will have to disagree with Jack, he just used Axoim as an example, also, the thread was about Axiom. When you get in to a defense mode(a bad mode to be in especially when you are defending) you tend to think it is all about you.

As I see it, just like Jack's example of using Ascend(that is Ascend's own published graph although the Soundstage graph is similar), Soundstage and the NRC need to publish measuring anomalies and, IMO, comparison to spec and reasons for discrepency. Otherwise, the issue will never be put to rest.
