Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Advice on Speakers

M3ti, M40ti, and M50ti have all been described as more "laid back" than the M22, M60 and M80. Or not as "bright". They may be more what you're looking for.

Could someone tell me if the treble on all of axiom's speakers sounds about the same? Specifically the m3ti and the floorstanders.

As Craig has just said, I understand that the timbre of the M3 (especially treble) is more similar to the M40/M50 than to M60/M80.

Thanks sushi I was looking for an answer on the treble specifically

Gary, I own both M22's and M3's, and while I haven't performed extensive A/B comparisons between the two, their treble characteristics are certainly similar. But, as has been mentioned, the M3's have a slightly warmer, less forward sound than the M22's (and M60's from what I hear). So, don't expect a dramatically different treble character between the different Axiom speakers, but there definitely are the warmer vs. brighter speakers in the lineup.

When I compared the two, I preferred the more forward sound of the M22's, which I kept in my main system, and put the M3's in my bedroom.
