Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater May buy Axiom...convince me..then tell me what!

I have, but it's not worth it; and then, it's not hi-fi ! ;-)

You guys are AWESOME!!! Very good to know that if I go Axiom.....and at this point I'm 99.9% sure I will.....that I will have a lot of backup and support from users. I know Axiom has great customer service....but there is something to say about real world and ENTHUSIASTIC users to back you up that makes the experience even better!

I'm leaning to the 60's.....even though I think it would be overkill....but heck... go big or go home I guess.....

King, welcome. Since no one(on earth probably)has done a comparison of the speakers you mention under identical conditions, to a certain extent a leap of faith is necessary, but the leap is a quite small one since you can return the Axioms within thirty days in the unlikely event that you're dissatisfied.

In a couple weeks it'll be 10 years and over 25,000 hours of primarily classical music for my M22s, and when supported by a good sub(I have the EP500)it leaves in my view nothing to be desired in overall sound quality. Note that it uses two 5 1/4" drivers to handle the mid-range, compared to one for the M60, so if anything, it has the ability to handle the all-important mid-range slightly more cleanly at high sound levels(the larger M60 enclosure is tuned for more extended bass, but this has no effect on the mid-range and treble).

I love my M60's. I haven't been listening quite as long as JohnK, though. I don't think a few thousand more hours is going to change my mind; I'll still enjoy my speakers.

By the time you buy good stands for the M22's, they start to become nearly as expensive as M60's. There is broad consensus that the M60 is - by far - the best looking speaker Axiom makes.

Why don't you get ALL those speakers, set up a proper double-blind testing environment and report your results? I think people would really appreciate it.

I think my Axiom speaks completely suck and would never recommend them to anyone!

I jest

Ben, you need to try plugging the ports.

I'm with Tom on my M60's. Everyone one of my friends who has heard them is waiting for me to upgrade to something/anything so they can buy them. Ain't happenin.'

Best of luck with your final choice and welcome to Axiomville! It's conveniently located quite near to Nirvana, so there's very little travel time.

I have to agree with Tom, the M60 is the best looking speaker followed by the M22 IMO. M22 + stands might equate to nearly the same cost as M60 but the M22/stands take up a little less floor space so it depends on the room, personal preference etc as to which to go for.

Best looking speaker until you have the M80's , I'm sure.Hahaha

First off - there is no such thing as overkill. Of course in an apartment, you could probably get arrested for disturbing the peace.

Second off - Tom is the wisest man on the forums. Do not listen to the M80 crowd.

Third - Assemble those speakers and you could sell tickets around here to the audition. May even cover your cost.
