Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo So how are the m40's?

Aaah...Sez the guy who realized just how much he likes his M3s cuz he never heard a bad sound from them, ever, in quite a few years, from the one who really, really likes a slightly warm, more nostalgic "Tube" sound.(I mentioned that yesterday in this very thread) Also sez the guy who likes the presentation of the M3s in the area of "Foreward" or "Laid-back" who prefers them "Right In The Middle" The guy who is not necessarily Afraid of "Foreward" but just prefers "Middle"

In no way could I even consider disliking the M60s, they have way too much going for them. It's kinda like Viper vs Voyager, Vette vs Impalla, Ford GT vs Taraus, Yadda Yadda Yadda, like the mini van of speakers, (OK, bad examples-forget it) Hey, performance is cool! Right!? Yeah! it is!!

I've delayed pulling the trigger on this order for quite a few days while hashing over the pros and cons of both styles of speakers-it ain't been easy, not at all.

What may have setteled it was the realization of just how happy I've been with my M3s. I've had speakers in the past that I've been very fond of for a few weeks or so, but then
something small, not even noticable at first would start to get annoying, and the Honeymoon is over. I am of the impression that the M50s are very much like the M3-the only complaint I recall hearing about the M50 is that it dosen't sound enough like the M60.

What I "think" I need in my house, right now, is a bigger M3! Not as warm as an M40, not as cool as an M60. As best as I can tell right now, it seems to be the M50. I do know one thing, no more "Serious" M50 Posse stuff, the M60 guys got something going too good to make fun of. (Well, maybe a little "Good Natured" kiddin', but not more than that)

So I got one more day to go over all the thisses and thatsis of one vs the other and pull the trigger monday morning. I plan to live with these speakers for the rest of whatever, so gotta get it right. (although I think I can send them back-free shipping-towards a pair of M60s if they don't work out, Safety-net!!)

Is nothing ever easy?
