In reply to:
They may be pretty in design but they make the speaker sound like crap.
See my post on the speaker slew auditions of the C7/C9.
I was only refering to the magnetic clip on, not the grid. The only thing I'd change about Axioms grills is make the frame out of a more rigid material, and have them attach with magnets, rather than plugs.

The magnets was kind of a neat thing but if the magnets are too strong, you chance pulling the speaker over when taking the grille off (or trying to take the grille off). I almost did that with the C9 in the store. I had to use my knee to push against the speaker as a brace otherwise i would have yanked the C9 off its platform.

Yes Craig, as chess points out, those little magnets are quite powerful and I understand that many audiophiles are able to discern an imbalance in the sound as the grill magnets interact with the speaker magnets. The deleterious effect is said to be powerful enough to nullify the benefits of high-end cables and better DACs.

My only experience was with a pair of C-3's and the magnet was just strong enough to hold the grill. It was nice.

Message me your email and I can send you a pic of what M60's and EP175 grills look like in my house. I've had my Axiom's since July 2002. I have three boys (13,4 and 16 months) and two cats terrorizing the family room. It'll be great reference material for you.

I can host them for you if u keep them small (under 200k each) and email them to skater11091(at)hotmail.com.
The reason I post my email like that is so the automated bots that scan forums and webpages don't realize it's an email, and thus I won't get spam.

OUCH!  But I'd guess it's better to sacrifice the grills than what's behind them.
