Ok, call me an instigator, but.. for $1700, I'd like at least two woofers.
I can see why they'd doubt the Axiom subs. A lot of reviews have shown the HSU and SVS models of similar and lower prices than the Axiom models to better them. While musical, they really don't go loud at lower frequencies, and the 200 watt rating for their $620 model and comments from people who've bought them on this very forum helps me believe this. This is what info I've collected reading forums, reviews, and people's comments and comparisons on them, not what I've heard, so don't take it too seriously..
I'm curious as to how well this'll perform when it comes out and people start buying it and performing comparisons. Not that I don't believe Axiom's measurements, but with careful EQing and close micing, you can get those results from almost any subwoofer. Although SOME exaggering is always expected, so I won't be disappointed or cynical if they don't live up to their hype.
