I don't think you sounded harsh.... I think you and Charles make good points.
I agree that they need more / better photos of speakers in an environment. Reviewing some magazine ads for B&W or Snell or Revel or KEF .... or..... well, just about anyone and it's easy to see that Axiom doesn't have any of those types of photos.
I'm just saying that to do so with every wood, in every stain, in every finish, with each grill cloth is a hercelean task and would require them to produce many, many hundreds of speakers, some of which in less popular woods and less popular stains and less popular finishes might not get turned around for years.
And then what happens to the person that says the Maple wood, chestnut-stain, semi-gloss looks good on that M80 in the photo... but I wonder how it would look on a little M2??!!??
