After drooling over Axiom speakers for a long time a pair of M40Ti's came up on CL for a great price so I jumped on them. I get them on Friday. I'll be using these in a music only setup in my office with an Anthem Integrated 30 wpc tube amp and a Behringer Ultracurve Pro DEQ2496.

They will be replacing a set of Ian Paisley designed SPL 1000 bookshelf ported speakers with 2 5 1/2" poly drivers a 1" silk tweeter placed between them and to the inside. From what limited info there is on the M40Ti's it seems like these will be a great match for my little tube amp. I can't wait to do some listening over the long weekend.

That's a blast from the past. Hope you enjoy them.

Can't wait to hear your feedback, hope the 40's work out with your tube amp.

@wid - LOL. My system will be a great circa 2001 midfi system. That's about when the Anthem and Axioms were made. Only instead of $1700 I'll have it for $350 + another $100 for the EQ w/measurement mike on eBay.

@Sirquack - I'll post an update once I get to spend some time with them.

I really like the M40s... they're still my primary music speakers. It always surprises people when I take off the grills and they see such a little speaker producing such smooth bass. Enjoy !

Very nice!! What will you be using for a source?

I love Anthem products and Axiom. Love tubes amps, preamps, tuners and CDPs.

Please post some pictures if you have a chance.


Enjoy the Music. Trust your ears. Laugh at Folks Who Claim to Know it All.

Sources will be my Onkyo CD player, Sony HD radio, and my laptop run through my Fubar DAC. With the laptop I usually play .ogg files with Foobar.
