I agree with NH.
From the Monitor Audios i've heard, they share some similar character sound with Axiom. Oddly enough i actually preferred the Monitors myself, but not enough so to change my Axioms out and pay the extra premium.

I like the approach the last poster presented:
"While it would be nice if they toned down some of the hype, I wish more manufacturers would post response curves with details of the measurement condition."
He must not know much about the type of work Axiom does on their speakers at the NRC, let alone the measurements posted by Soundstage.
As for the hype, well, they have to sell their products somehow. Nothing wrong with a couple of adjectives here and there.

That was Mark Seaton of Contrabass fame. He's a "heavy hitter" in the sub world. He posts just about everywhere, and I've always found him straightforward, knowledgeable, and accurate.

That was Brian "Bighead8che" on AVS... Based on the port size and cabinet volume, the "600" could be QUITE formidable. It will have an upper teens tuning frequency with a minimum of EQ. required... It may well match a PB2-Ultra in performance, and is enough to ALMOST make me wish I had not quit reviewing...
