Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Midrange Upgrades

According to Ian, who I have talked with, they technically are both woofers. You need to really consider the design of the speaker to understand what is going on. The 5" woofers inside the M80 are boxed in and by this design have finite range they can deliver.

The new HP woofers were given a new stronger coil, beefed up cone and more travel so they can potentially give a lower frequency.

The tweeter got die cast for heat dissipation, and lowered the resonance frequency to be further below the crossover region.

What you called the 'mid range' is a smaller woofer that is forced by design of the case operate inside a set of frequency ranges. if you want to alter that then you are changing the guts of the speaker case, not just the actual woofer that you mount.

Mojo and Socketman are correct in this is marketing business and technology keeps on moving forward, and Axiom will release new speakers that will improve over time. By how much and if it will make any difference to you, I cannot say. It is up to you as the customer to decide it your current speakers are lacking in some way and if any changes or improvements are worth the cost to get now or in some future point.
