"Gary, although there's no way to be sure exactly what "lean" means to you, I'd suspect that you may be used to an inaccurate "fullness" in some frequency range. Above the low bass, which the sub would handle, NRC measurements and personal listening show that the M22 is extremely accurate(some prefer a more "laid-back" response), so any emphasis in the upper bass which would give an impression of greater fullness would in fact be an inaccuracy in that speaker."
As an Ascend owner, and someone that has a lot of respect for Axioms, this has got to be one of the most biased and misleading posts I have seen on the Axiom board. The advice given on this board is usually educated and helpful, and sure, sometimes with bias, but never misleading.
The M22 and CBM-170 have extremely flat, "accurate" curves. Even speakers with the same response curves can sound different. The fact that Gary percieves more fullness from the CBM-170 probably has less to do with the accuracy of the speaker than anythingelse. If the M60 has more fullness than the M22, is it because it is less accurate?
