All companies make compromises for price at various points. The reality is that only very high end speakers will have top shelf components in the crossover networks.

People spend big money on IC's and Speaker cables to get the last ounce of performance from their speakers. Why not crossovers?

Like I said, not everybody wants to put more money into their speakers to get the last bit of performance, but the existence of an upgraded crossover doesn't necessarily mean there's something wrong with your M22's. I like my Rocket RS450's just fine (admittedly a very different voicing than Axiom products) but I'm going to save up and get the ninja master crossovers because I don't want a larger speaker in the space that I have to work with.

Naturally, when some people try the ninja m22 and post comments about them it will be easier to know what to expect from the investment. I'll admit I'm fairly curious myself.
