If nothing else Murph you have the best self portrait ala Simpsons, especially since it is authentic.

Hello friends

So, I've had these M3V2.x on my countertop for weeks now and I finally took a close look at them.

I was very surprised to see that the screws securing the tweeter and the 6.5" drivers are not countersunk. Each of those screws is standing up like a teenage boy in the girl's shower.

OK, focus is off but check out those screws!

Now, here are some pictures of a Michaura M66. Look familiar? Check out the nicely countersunk screws.

Are things changing? Is there a lack of attention to detail happening here?

Hasn’t changed in the three years since I got my first axiom order. Although I’ve read that the area surrounding the tweeters can alter the FR I’m pretty sure that the difference in screws isn’t going to be detectable to my ears. Even though I leave my grills on I wouldn’t mind the look if I didn’t so I guess what I’m saying is that it’s a non-issue for me. wink

I guess I could take a damp cue tip to the Michaura tweeter cove.

Q-Tip. Not Cue-tip. I suppose it's a matter of whether or not you sweat the details.
