It makes me wonder what the real reason is for some of the more negative comments are concerning Axioms??


I'd say freedom of choice. My brother's not a big fan of how my Axioms sound. To him, they're harsh and too bright. What he likes in a speaker is what I would call a "muddy" sound... again, which he counters as "punchy", which is a much different sound altogether to me... so all the adjectives get thrown out the window.

My old neighbour and I had a similar disparity... I like a well-rounded speaker, he swore by the audio system in his truck, guy was happy with junk-jiggling bass levels and sizzling treble... anything between 150Hz and 4000Hz just didn't seem that important to him. Long as it covered the "uhn-tiss uhn-tiss uhn-tiss uhn-tiss" of his dance music... everything else is just gravy.
