Mojo - I would more likely pair the M5's with the Lgeacy Signature SE's we have here and see how they fare with an $8000 speaker.

To make things "fair", I would cross both speakers at 60 Hz and use an EP-800 for the deep stuff, as the job would be to find out how well the M5's would compare above 60 Hz.

The Legacies are $7000 per pair and include dual 10 inch subwoofers.

Listening would be done level matched and blind, with instant A/B switching, using our pre-amp level unit.

And even then, there's no guarantee one would be "better". It's just an honest way to compare speakers.





This would definitely be an interesting comparison, not necessarily for which is better but to see how the Axiom stacks up against a speaker 7 times its price. Is the sonic difference worth another 6G's if there is much of a difference at all. Something I would also like to see compared is the M5 compared to a Bryston Mini A .
