I don't know but since there are no more Axiom speakers for my curious exploration, I don't know how I'm going to satisfy Mike's craving for hyperbole.

I'll have to wait until Axiom improves the actives. In my mind's eye I can see where 11 more drivers should go. Not sure about any more sphincters though. I will say the actives are the only sphinctered Axiom that has performed flawlessly in the bass regardless of where it was placed in the room. I really don't know how that has been accomplished.

I hope Axiom gets to those improvements after releasing the octa-sub with 15" drivers.
