Nice to see others showing some fortitude & stepping up to the plate over there.

That is a welcome change from the past couple of years...

Unfortunately that thread will not die even though it should have a while ago...

As is typical for the "science guys" on AVS forum, they mention how other companies use "real measurements".

Axiom uses the NRC for measurements, which is probably the most accurate system for measuring one can find. These measurements are available to see on the "specs" page for each Axiom speaker and subwoofer.

At least Axiom has their very own, on-site, sophisticated, full size Anechoic Chamber in which to make proper measurements...

Why is it always the same 3 aholes that show up on AVscience and run their mouth . Its fine if they don't like Axiom ,its their relentless bashing I just don't understand.

Socketman - Regardless the topic, there are always 3 to 7 guys there that have an agenda. It could be subwoofers, a certain speaker manufacturer .. etc ...

In the mean time, I looked at both the SVS and Aperion website. Neither show measurements that I could find. The SVS Prime Tower DID have a test on Soundstage, which measures speakers using the same method Axiom does (and vice versa).

Based on measurements, the Axiom towers are more linear across the bandwidth. They are also about 4 dB more sensitive, which is quite a difference, especially when using a receiver. This does not "prove" that Axiom's speakers sound better than SVS, but to suggest Axiom is lacking in measurements while SVS and Aperion are "superior" in measurements is ridiculous.

Of course, one cannot blame SVS nor Aperion for posts made by these certain few people.

There are a lot of great products on the market - it's just too bad some people think being nasty is a sign of being intelligent.

Back to AVS - there is little to no science there. The forums are a marketing platform for certain manufacturers. It used to be a great forum, but it's pretty much one of negativity over the last few years.
