Someone has an ad in a local paper selling a pair of Merak MT66's (by Axiom). Does anyone have any idea what these speakers look like? Dimensions? Other specs? The ad states that they have 2 - 6" mids and 1 - 1" tweeter.

Quick!!Buy now.....ask questions later!!!!
I believe that it's 2x6 who has some, but he hasent't been heard from since he started working on his New "Frankenstein" Speakers over the weekend. Gee, I hope he's ok and the the townspeople,armed with torches and pitchforks, haven't tossed him into the sea. Maybe someone should run out there and check on him in his new castle.
But yeah; from all I've heard, these things are a real find!
They're historically significant to the Axiom Faithfull, and I understand they even sound good!
You could try a Forum Search and see what you uncover!!!
If I was the one who found them, I would put in current Axiom mids and tweet, and call them my new center, or new full-range surrounds, to go with my M50s!!!

Yeah, I've searched the forum, and pretty much everything points to 2x6 and his "Frankenstein" center channel.

Hi fellas
I picked up a pair of MT66s a few years ago, gave them away long ago. They are pretty unremarkable speakers. The 6 or 6.5" drivers are not aluminum the tweeter is the 3/4" titanium which is very nice. The cabinets are on the flimsy side and don't have the anti standing wave shape. The MT66s are not an audiophile grade effort. I'd pass.
I've seen some pictures of some other Merak towers which use horn tweeers. They look interesting. Haven't heard them.
The Merak center channels are pretty good, but can be made into something special. They used to be widely available but not any more.

Ok, I remember now, the first thing you lose when you get older is....Uh...I don't remember, but I think it's important!
Oops!....uh...don't buy them, Alou....maybe it was the Michaura(sp)Axiom-made speakers that I may have been thinking of.

Umm.....Maybe it's a "Dead Heat"
(Now there's a term that you know what it means when you first hear it, but it loses sense when you think about it for a moment!)
