Right on the money as always John.

The 7006 is one of their lowest model with the powered subwoofers.

I've read several reviews of the Def Tech tower speakers. Just last week there was a review about their flagship towers that run $3000 per pair and the measured frequency response is 39 Hz -3dB and 29Hz -6dB. Well the m80's or m60's do that and are much cheaper. I can't see the point of the active sub's in the Def Tech speakers when they don't extend any further than most other tower speakers. But, reading the reviews of the Def Tech speakers it seems that they are geared toward the guy that can't get WAF for a subwoofer. Even so, the Axiom m80's or m60's have about the same footprint and a lower cost. The original poster was asking about the Def Tech bp7006's though. They are $1200 per pair, so they are about the same price as the m60's and m80's. Also, since they have the same frequency responses and have had very good reviews it may be a close shootout if he can find a Def Tech dealer to listen to these and compare to Axiom.

I was going to comment on the specs of an 8" powered woofer being able to reach 17hz, even with 2 passive radiators helping out, I was in doubt of the specs. They might reach 17hz, but as JohnK mentioned, be down substantially from the rest of the spectrum so they wouldn't even be felt, but they might be able to measure them that low. I would suggest your friend look at one of the smaller subs out there like the Paradigm DSP3100, it has great power and sound for a relatively small box, combine this sub with M60s/M80s and I believe this will sound better and reach lower than the DT's.

Hi , if you are going to listen to music with the definitive speakers i found the high end a little too bright for my taste .

Welcome to the forum PTPlayers

A simple solution for the -40db at each end would be to daisy-chain 4 vintage 80's EQ's. Boost the bottom-end slider 10db's on each and well-la, you have a nice flat frequency response just as if you had Axiom speakers!!!
That's why they call me the 80'sMan!

lets talk about service and the ability to get a hold of a manufacturer at all when in time of need or professional opinion.
I have had a service company for 19 years and would say that Axiom exceeds the service of most if not all companies I have done business with both personally and through business and I deal with over 15 manufactures in my industry on a regular basis.

Axiom shows old school service and sales which was why I spent for me a couple of thousand more than I would of had it not been for the service and quality that was recommended to me from a friend.

Service and communication is the key to sucess and Axiom delivers.

Welcome, Tim. That's a pretty definitive statement about Axiom's service.

Thank you, long time lurker and finally decided to join .
