Where did anyone get the idea that I was trashing Axioms. Not at all. Don't read something into what isn't there. Read my posts. I love my Axioms. I have M22s, M3s, M60s and QS8s. I said that these changes brought them to another level that I knew they were capable of but was not there before. Only change was going from a Yamaha 657 to Emotiva LMC / LPA combo.
