I like lows too. It's just that M100s, M5s and M3s are 16dB too hot in my smallish living room. This isn't a surprise given the bump in their frequency response curves. The M2 low frequency response falls off a cliff below 70Hz which is absolutely great because my room modes boost the low end enough to make it wonderful to listen to. The M50 is much better and I only have to knock that back by 6dB. The actives are perfection!

I've discovered a ton playing with these Axioms. I am trying to pass my observations on so others can benefit. I can understand though how much of what I say may be difficult for others to accept. Listeners at my place find it difficult to accept what they hear until they check for themselves.
