Those graphs are flat. They won't be if you redid them with the speakers in an everyday run of the mill room. But I think it is good to start out with a flat frequency response. Talking about how speakers sound is fun. But everyones rooms can have different dimensions, building materials, furnishings and be driving those speakers with different amplifiers and feeding those amplifiers from different sources. Maybe some of you have cds that were well recorded and some aren't. The list of variables is large. If the people on this forum all say that Axioms are good, then it is reasonable to believe that they are good. But they can only really describe the sound that they are getting. If someone were to slam the speakers, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Maybe they put minimal effort in the setup, in a bad room, etc. Axiom is a cool company. Just buy them and listen to them in your house with your gear and see if you like them. Besides, it is just one pair of speakers right? You can always get more.
