This guy(gr reasearch) is designing the LS series of speakers for av123.com they seem to be very nice speakers if you want to pay 6,000 for 2 speakers. I would say he is tryig to pick axiom apart by the numbers not the sound. Also why would he use the m80ti to do a test rather that the up to date v2?? Has axiom become so big that the (smaller guys) are going to start attacking them?
