Hi Power,
Tom Tuttle has it right. I certainly do not post all my criticisms, many of which are relatively minor, on the Axiom forums. For example, the old M60ti's overall were a nicely balanced speaker. In blind tests, I'd write things like "quite good, but there's a bit of an edge on saxophones, brass instruments and some female and male vocals." And while I'd give it a good score, there was always a qualification that prevented me from calling it "wonderful". When a speaker is really wonderful, I relax and enjoy the music because I don't hear flaws that bug me and trying to criticize it becomes a pointless exercise.
These are fairly nuanced criticisms, not major flaws, and lots of listeners wouldn't be bothered by them or even notice them on a wide variety of material. And it was only on certain recordings that the flaws would show up. You have to put these in perspective. On one other Axiom speaker no longer in the line, when I first heard it in a blind test 10 years ago, I thought there was something wrong with it. It sounded as though a big duvet or comforter had been thrown over the speaker.
Regards, Alan

Alan's reference to the "other" Axiom speaker is presumably to the M40.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

He probably stabbed it with a sword.

While on the verge of tears. He seems to like to be in that emotional state.

That's because he's clumsy and always manages to nick himself with the sword.
He just needs to man up.

I'm starting to think that my V2 M60s from December 2004 must suck compared to the current V3s...

Well, perpetuating that outlook is the only way for Axiom to make more money from existing customers. There's nothing wrong with that.
My M60ti's continue to serve me well. I like them very much.
