I ask, since you like the M3s the most of Axiom's speaker, and the are the least flat of their main line. What makes you think you'd prefer any other speaker Axiom designed with an even flatter response? A single high-pass filter on a tweeter, with the woofer simply rolling off due to its mechanical limits is always going to less linear than a tuned cross over network.

I believe I can make the assumption, based upon the gear you own, and the configurations you prefer, that you don't actually want a flatter response from your speakers. There are plenty of high-end designs which are purposefully colored to make some styles of listening more pleasing. That's not Axiom's philosophy, but there's no reason you shouldn't seek out other brands to see if there's one who's tuning aligns more with your preferred sound.
