DJ, very good. You should enjoy the fine sounds with your M50s and you've probably overjoyed the members of the M50 Backers that they've got a prospective recruit.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

There are still fans of the M50's left on the forum? I thought we managed to convert them all to M80 owners ;\)

DJ, I am looking forward to your impressions of the M50s, I hope you take the time to post them for us.

Any new speaker on its way to your door step is exciting IMO! Here I am sitting 15 feet from my almost 1 year old M80's and I'm wishing I could be at your house Monday when your M50's arrive! \:D

It's a great experience listening to a new set of speakers to see how well they fit into your listening area. Though it has a different design than their top-of-the-line models, the M50's are still made by Axiom, so I'm sure they are a fabulous speaker in their own right. So have fun demoing them, and if by chance they aren't what you were hoping for, you could always return them and perhaps try the M22's or M60's.

And if the are what you were hoping for, well then you will be a member of a very select group indeed! Either way, congrats!

Enjoy the M50's DJ.

The unfortunate truth is that the M50 is the "middle child" in Axiom's lineup. I believe most people are either looking for a bookshelf and start with the M22, or look for a pair of large towers and start with the M80. Looking at the M50 graph, rest assured, it's typically Axiom, enjoy them.

If I remember correctly, the old M40s basically sounded like the M3s but with added bass. Why am I thinking that's also the sound of the M50s?

If so, I've always wanted to try M3s and would love to try a floorstander that has the same acclaimed signature with deeper extension!

Never mind....

From the M50 page:
"If you're already a fan of Axiom's highly-rated M3 bookshelf speaker, you'll love this floorstanding version of the it [sic]. The M50 uses identical drivers to the M3 to replicate the award-winning sound in a tower speaker which adds more deep bass and greater peak dynamics to the playback."

From the response curve shown in the product page, the M50 looks a lot closer to M22s than M3s.

At the very least it'll break up the monotony down there at the Axiom factory having to build the same old speakers, eh! ;\)

Do you mean that, if they are distracted at factory, deathjester may end up with M60s or M80s without knowing? \:\)

The main reason i picked the M50 was because people say they have a laid back sound to them. I really dont care for bright speakers. I guess every ones opinion on whats bright or not is different. Ive heard people say paradigm moniters were bright and i didnt feel that way. I find polks,kefs,totems,and klipisch very hard to listen to. I really wanted to try M60s since they really dont cost much more but was afraid they would sound like the above brands. Can any M50 or M3 owners here chime in give me an idea of what other brand they compare to.
