Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners PSB or not to PSB?

The T45s are pretty much the elusive "M22 in a larger enclosure" that several people have wondered about, particularly after the demise of the M40. For pure music listening without a sub that would be a real nice speaker.

On the other hand, they would not play any more loudly or clearly than your M22s, and if you are using them with a sub there would not be a lot of practical difference since the M22s are nice and flat down to typical crossover frequencies. This last point is why Axiom didn't sell a lot of M40s -- for a music speaker they are fantastic but the big enclosure doesn't benefit you if you already have a sub.

I have not heard the latest PSBs but I did listen to the previous Image line (2T, 5T) before getting the Axioms. I didn't get a chance to directly A/B them but I did find the PSBs a bit bass heavy and midrange-light compared to the Axioms.
