It depends the line from Paradigm. Axioms blow the Monitor series away.


Yes indeed they do, but I have always found Monitor 9's to be brilliant sounding speakers for - $1000. It would be nice to do a comparison for fun but I'm still looking for a local Axiomite to help me out.

Fred, have you seen any professional reviews of them other than the Audioholics one. I was initially intregued by it but after they came out I wasn’t seeing any other pro reviews just links to and reposts of the Audioholics one.

Of the few user reviews I saw one said that they weren’t anything special and a couple others raved about the surrounds but really just sounded like rehashes of what Audioholics said and nothing to indicate that they really put them through their paces.

I didn’t want to wait anymore and eventually just added a couple M22s to my last Axiom order for the hell of it and am very happy I did.

I find it interesting that the ERM/D's are 4 ohm speakers which would effectively eliminate a great many people from buying them.

Hey Jake (not to hijack this thread again or anything) have you ever heard of a place called 'Bowden'? I lived there for 5 years when I was a kid, just before we moved to the states. It's not too far from Calgary, but it's TINY! Like 800 people when I lived there (1975 - 1980)...


... carry on.

Lets see here. As of right now I have Hsu speakers, B&W, American Acoustics, Cerwin Vega, and Axioms. I have owned Pioneer HPM 1500s, EPI 100s, Bose 901s, Def Tech pro 40,Design Acoustics and a few I can't recall at this time. I really do like my M80s but in time I will be replacing them with a big ol set of Maggies.

HMMM biased.

Good point Dean. It was reviews on the audioholics forum I was referring to so there is a greater possibility of bias. If I have time today I am going to search back through audioholics to see if I can dig up the review I remember (another dangerous thing, me relying on my not so perfect memory).

I drive past it every time I go to see my parents. It hasn't changed much in the 20 yrs I have been heading out that way.
