Although, graphs do tell a story that needs to be confirmed with one's ear. If you look at B*SE graphs it will clue you in. Also, I had some Paradigm Titans that sounded good at first - but then I realized they had too much bass bloat for me - as the graphs bore out.
Seems like one would do well to look at graphs and then go listen, or the other way around - but check out both.

For sure. Also, read the graphs very carefully.
There is another internet-direct speaker company that publishes response graphs liberally, but they only go down to 200Hz. I'm not sure that a reasonably flat line to 200Hz really tells me very much.

And where did the readings take place and under what conditions ie. anehoic chamber? Although lots of people seem to really like them, even a few on this board.

My take on the M22s and 170s graphs is still that they are very close - ascend being slightly flatter - but not by much.
I know I don't totally understand the graphs, but the fact that they are both pretty flat makes me feel good about my investment in Axioms.

It's not just the graphs, it's what you hear as well. Glad you feel good about the purchase, just like the rest of us.
