Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions M50 v4 6.5 driver

My curious grandson did a number on my son's M50 v4 6.5" drivers, denting both voice coil covers and wrinkling the cones. The mid has a noticeable buzz. Does Axiom sell replacement drivers?

Yes, they're in this section of the website:

Damn.

I love the modern retro sound of my ebony M50v4.

I live with this fear everyday from my kids attacking my woofers. I feel that pain.

M50v4. Sweet. I’d love to hear those as I LOVE my m3v4.

Are M50 v4 a straight 2 way or do they roll at 2.5 way?

I’m going to bet it’s a straight 2 way. I’m assuming m22 is the same. I’d look it up but they’re not on website.

I’ve always liked the looks of the m22. It’s just interesting to look at.

Tyler, the M50 is a 2-way. The mid-woofers on the M22 and other drivers are 5.25".

Tyler, this is for your reading enjoyment.

If you got the M50v4, you'd seriously have a tough time not hanging on to them and periodically switching between the M60 and M50.

When I down-size and decide to roll doobies and suck back scotch, M50 for me all the way! Nothing sounds bad on the M50 and M3. I can't say that about any other Axiom.

I'm gonna get the M50v4 in an on-wall!

Now you guys got me goin'.

They are so smooth, man. And the bass, as long as you don't pump them up too much, integrates so much better with my rooms than the M5, M80 and M100. And nicer bass than the M5, M3, M80 and M100.

You know all those ancient bands old codgers like me grew up with? Like AC/DC, Twisted Sister, Iron Maiden? The ones with sound engineers who must have been stoned out of their drunken minds when they were supposed to be sound engineering?If you listen to those on ALFRs, you'll want to pour gasoline in your ears and ignite it. But on the M50...well...you can just zone out, man! The harshness from those bands flows into the binding posts, gets mashed up by the cross-over and is presented to your ears-brain in a velvety texture by the somewhat confused twin 6.5" drivers that are having to play low and yet also high. The tweeter takes it all in stride as it distances itself from the madness just below 3KHz.

There is no other way to serve up those bands. I'm glad the M50 can act as our ears-brain interface to them.

Then you listen to a recording genius like Brian Culbertson on the M50s and you can enjoy that too without wondering what you might be missing.

The M50s are like a Swiss army knife or a multi-tool.

What are some of your Favorite Brian Culbertson recordings? ( I have no idea who he is but I’d like to check it out…) thanks.

Oh I thought he was recording engineer or producer or whatever the correct term is. He’s be artist. Totally misunderstood.

Christmas tunes! Nice. Festive.

He is the artist and recording engineer. When I listen to that album, the soundstage extends well beyond the speakers on my ALFRs. If I turn it up, the stage comes out around me. There are many, many images throughout the soundstage and they are as crisp and clear as can be even though the ALFRs are bipolar.

At my lady friend's, due to her room and walls, her M5s cause the stage to come right around us even at low volumes. Images and clarity are there but not as defined, clear and distinct as at my place. Nonetheless, it doesn't feel as if anything is missing.

BTW, you won't be able to appreciate the low, saturating bass in his tunes with your sub. There's content right down to 15 Hz. Enough to reach into your skull and massage your hypothalamus.
