I respect your position. By all means never do anything you don't feel comfortable with. And no, I'm not implying anything, its a scientific fact. When you choose compnents for their value to acheive a certian electrical effect, those with better tolerances will provide you with better performance. Period. Axiom uses an economy of scale to produce speakers of the quality they do for the price. They have to make concessions or the price would be passed on (to you). Yes, you could build an XO using the SAME values but use higher quality Indctures & Caps and get a different (better?) sound. Its all subjective anyway, so do whats best for yourself.
I have read quite a few threads here on the site from Axiom owners who tweaked their M22 XO's and made a great speaker spectacular. Neccesity is the mother of invention, but if you are happy with what you have, thats ok too.
