A friend has Dali Ikon 7s. They have both a soft dome and ribbon tweeter and three identical woofers. Yes, probably three times the cost of my M22s. But they sound as close as anything I've heard to the actual studio monitors of original recordings on tape. Some of this is due to the incredible high end with the combination ribbon and soft dome tweeters. I wondered if Axiom had ever considered ribbons. I would put the M22s up against most speakers, except for the high end, which seems a little closed. 'Course it could be other parts of my system, too. Any thoughts?
