I don't think of my Axioms as bright or warm. I think my M3 centers blend very well with the M80 mains.

Hi Ken,
Absolutely. We are talking nuances here, and all of my comments on the relative balance of Axiom's models are based on instantaneous A/B comparisons. The M50s are nicely balanced, as are the M3s, with perhaps 2 dB less output through the midrange.
When each model is auditioned on its own, without immediate A/Bs, these slight tonal differences evaporate.

In reply to:
Take a look at the Axiom frequency response curves and tell me what is "bright" about them??
Everything is relative. If you're used to a recessed high end, then of course the Axioms will sound brighter than what you're used to. Just like if you're used to bloated bass, the Axioms might sound anemic in the bass area at first.
The important thing to remember is that the Axioms are quite accurate, as revealed by frequency response graphs.

I'm not an audiophile or anything, but my 60's have brightened my smile every time I listen to them. They are amazing. Guy

>>Bridgman where exactally are you? My parents live near Oshawa, so I come through there often.
I'm kind of half way through moving. The old house is in Scarborough (the M40s are there today) and the new house is north of Bowmanvile, right near Mosport.
It would probably be easiest to move the M40s up to the new house so you can A/B them. I'm keeping them at the old house right now to give it some class
