Thank you for posting in our forum, your reviews are very informative.
I'm not surprised that SVS and Axiom are the most willing for the comparisons. When I was still on the fence about Axiom, I came across a post here asking if we could play our M3 as full range speakers.
Ian replied back with the most confident, You can play any axiom at any range you like they can handle anything with ease.
Which came across almost cocky.
I was sold that much confidence and the link to the Scientific's, for proof on top. Very few company's would ever be so bold, let alone be able to back it up, with complete confidence in their products.
Looking forward to your hopefully awesome winter when the snow hits in a couple weeks.
Cheers Brendan
