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

I haven't seen any good "40 vs. 50" comparisons so it's hard to be sure, but based on what I have seen I would *not* expect the 40s to be at all boomy or slow. If you look at the frequency response curve from Soundstage the 40 kind of rolls off a bit in the bass, definitely doesn't have that "big peak at the cabinet/port resonance frequency" kind of curve. I think the biggest difference between 40 and 50 is that the 50s can play louder... sometimes a cigar is just a cigar
