Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion What's New At Axiom Introducing the M5 and QS10

The better question would be what does some of those items give? A thicker cabinet? Die-Cast drivers? A different crossover?

Apart from having a much heavier speaker, I don't see the point. A die-cast driver likely makes any sound improvement or I know that Ian and Andrew would have put that into their speaker offering. It might look good on paper, but little to gain.

The last you listed was a different crossover. That is where you get into the meat and potatoes. If you followed Axiom, you would know that they are one of the few companies that actually test speakers and work with a full 360deg family of curves to know how the reflections off axis will impact the sound coming out the front. They have played with their crossovers from the V3 to the v4 to get them better. If you wanted a better sounding speaker, then why don't you look at the LFR as then you are effectively moving into an active pre-processor that interacts with the crossover to get perfect timing and a real true sound out.
