Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion What's New At Axiom New Video! Designing the M100

"In My Head" from No Doubt's Rock Steady album is referred to as "The Sibilance Song" around here, although I guess strictly speaking there are more fff sounds than sss sounds.

When I read the HTS review my first thought from looking at distance & toe-in details for the M100's (before reading the actual review) was "they're too close to the front wall and toed in too much" - I find that even M60s sound bright & bass heavy like that. In fairness, folks who own the other speakers are probably making similar comments about how *their* speaker would have sounded better if only blah blah blah.

The big revelation for me was that (a) if you treat *all* the first reflection points properly you don't have to toe in so much to get really good imaging and (b) the "BBC dip" that some speakers have (but not Axioms) also seems to reduce the fatiguing impact of untreated reflection points.
