Sigh. More fanning of the flames has ensued on Audioholics.
C'mon folks. Move on. No more threads.
John, this is not directed at you.
FWIW, I like my audio equipment. I don't hold it against people that don't like what I do.
Your Studio's are a very nice speaker. Way more 'dead sexy' than Axiom's offerings. Dead sexy costs money, as does channel marketing (which I did for a living for a number of years).
I've listened to a lot of the studio line. Not having done a direct listening comparison to my M80s I cannot say which sounds better. I can tell you that, for the money, the M80 sounds very good and shares the same neutral response as its Studio equivelant.
IF I had done a direct comparison and had found that I thought the equivelant Axiom speaker sounded just as good, it would be foolish of you to be offended. Its just my opinion. Nothing more. Nothing less.
