Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo axioms vs. swan divas

both are mail-order only. so to decide between both makes it particularly hard and expensive (shipping costs). but it seems like swan and axiom get some of the highest performance/price ratio ratings out there. so here's the question: axiom m22ti's or the swan diva 2.1's?
what's each speaker's particular sound characteristic. what types of music/media would each be best for? i listen mostly to jazz and some classical. but also am planning to use these speakers for 5.1 home theater.

If memory serves there was a very indepth thread about this comparison. I would suggest searching for it.

i've looked and i couldn't find it in the home theater, stereo, technical questions, or miscellaneous questions forums. what was the gist of both sides of the argument?

I just searched and it was posted 12/06/2001 in Home Theatre.

If I recall it was a long thread......so, I will let you experience it.

check out outlawaudio.com i remember someone comparing the two brands. i think he ended up paying around $300 just to send the swans back after comparing the two systems.

where in the web site is this?

I've searched the threads and the only thing i can find is the 6.1 vs. M80's thread. and that thread didn't even talk about the speakers. it was just a bunch of people arguing in a forum.

Can you not search as well? Or go back a few pages.

If you search all forums for all posts containing "swan" you get a list. The list contains for the most part, the thread Duff and I was referring to entitled:
"HEY Ian - Axiom M80Ti vs. Swan Diva 6.1 ?". It mentions

It is located on page 4 (currently) but may move down if more posts are made. Last thread post occurred at 01/12/02 02:52 AM. Authored by the infamous (and multiple) "Anonymous "

Hope that helps.
