If you don't like multiple tweeters, the Axiom port plugs work real well.

You don't like dual tweets?

It IS very rare to see a speaker design with dual tweeters.

All the forum "experts" trash axiom for it.

I don't know enough to really have an opinion...other than....my m80s can sure pound and sound good at high volumes :p

But ive also seen those same "experts" praise certain internal speaker designs on other models but then blast axiom that use the same or similar design concepts. Their hypocrisy knows no bounds lol

I have no problem with dual tweeters. I blocked one of two tweeters for a listening test on the M100s and cannot tell a difference in soundstage and imaging compared to dual tweeters.

I did the same. I covered one to see if I noticed any sound improvements and did not notice any changes in sound quality. Having the dual tweeters seems to allow the power to be spread out when I crank the volume as to not overload a single tweeter. At least that's how I perceive the reasoning behind the second tweeter in Axiom's design.

As refined a speaker the axioms are...i also find they are the ultimate party speaker. smile

Those multiple tweeters and drivers allow for some very loud but accurate SPL's.

They just need the proper amplification to really handle all those drivers at loud spls

ADA1500-5 will be going on order Friday. Then I can really crank them up to 11.

The ADA-1500 is capable of melting the voice coil adhesive. If something starts smelling acrid, congrats you've likely toasted the HP drivers. Likely not fried them though.
