I don't know that a frequency response curve is a sufficient description of a speaker's sound quality. The M22s have a remarkably flat fr plot and I like the sound, no love. The M3s plot is not as flat, but I like them better. Thiel plots are better and I love the sound. Maybe the fr plot reveals flaws in the speaker's performance but does not guaranty a great sound.

Somebody has to listen the speakers and 'voice' them. Not a bad job especially if you own the company.

I agree that Axioms sound better than many "high end" speakers. When I refer to 'iconic' speakers I mean speakers known for their sound quality. Many are very expensive. Some, not so expensive.
