Some manufacturers use very thin-walled stamped steel woofer baskets that can resonate at some frequencies. However, the standard Axiom baskets are made from very heavy gauge steel and do not "ring". You can expect identical performance from either the standard or die-cast option. smile


Sorry to be a fly in the ointment here but I'm not sure I buy into the notion that the only way to maintain quality is to build your own drivers. Many of your competitors use OEM parts or they work with OEM companies to spec their parts. They have no QC issues as far as I know. In fact, many of them offer much higher performing products dollar for dollar as a result.


With respect to speakers (not subs) I am not aware of any "higher performing products dollar for dollar" than Axiom speakers. What products are you referring to?


My focus was on their subs but there are many brands competitive and perhaps a better value than Axiom when it comes to speakers.

Here are a few:
Aperion Audio Verus
ARX Speakers
Ascend Acoustics

And that is just in the "A's". I recently heard the Ascend Acoustics new Tower and it slayed my M60s. I am saving up now to get them and sell my M60s to my neighbor.
