Has anyone ever read this? I personally own a pair of m22s and love them. I know they aren't perfect but I enjoy them and thats the important part. Can this guy possibly enjoy listening to music being this critical of a very decent speaker such as the m3? He mentions the Linkwitzlab speakers which do interest me, but those are 8grand. Basically he says there are no good speakers to buy anywhere, so why is he reviewing speakers with a view like this? He has some good things to say, but for the most part I take it all with a grain of salt. What do you guys think?

One massive grain of salt. Witness his review of the Bose Wave Radio. Dude's all over the map.

I knew that was Monte, he is constantly bashing Axiom(on AVS)and pretty much most other speakers out there that he feels are under engineered. His perfect speaker is one that sounds as good for the entire 360deg. circle around it as it does on axis, amazingly he says has has yet to find a manufactured speaker up to his standards, so he builds his own.

He has since been told that the rest of the Axiom lineup do in fact, have crossovers and has eased his bashing a little.

I love how he says he is designing his own speaker thats gonna rule the world, but he may or may not share plans and he's not gonna sell it either. I wonder if he was to discover the cure to cancer, would he share that with the world? By the way this was my first post on this web site, and I love the reaction I got, made me hate the world less to see that everyone felt the way I do about this review.

There are a few people out there who need to crap on something/someone.

Yes, sometimes crap looks like snickers.
