I would like to see Axiom target speakers in the $5,000-$10,000 range, match their sound quality and come in at a much lower price.

Luke, I think the reason I like the sound of the M3s is because of the minimal x-over. The M3s roll off mechanically and the x-over just protects the tweeter.

The Reference 3a de capo speakers work the same way. I was able to pick up some de capo x-overs and modified them to work in my Frankenspeaker center channel project. I'll get a picture of one when I can dig it out of my garage. very high quality goods.

Enjoy the Music. Trust your ears. Laugh at Folks Who Claim to Know it All.
