and i had to go look for it im sold on the m40's do you guys think my panny xr50 will do a good job with these speakers? my buddy sold his 2500 dollar tube amp for a xr10 and loved the xr10. so i think i should be good... hopefully everything will work out. anyone know anything about the ce775? will modding it make a big difference in sound?

That comparo could be a goodie at that-wonder if it may be on the Spot or AVS? I haven't caught them in the last few days so could have missed it.

I'll have to admit to being a little nervous getting the M50s without having heard them, I bought the M3s the same way, but in those days the M3 was the absolute darling of the Axiom line with a dozen or so "professional" reviews going on and raving about them almost to the point of being a turn-off. The worst comment I read about them was one writter found them to be a bit "bright". The consumer reviews were just as glowing. With such unanimous support, how could someone be afraid to make a purchase?(Plus they were only $275USD in those days) It was a real no-brainer. If the M50s sound "almost" as good as the M3s I'll be happy, if they sound better...

Just to be safe, give Axiom a call -- "I have M3s, I really like them, moved into a bigger room etc...". I'm pretty sure they'll say "50s" but never hurts to get another opinion.

oh, there it is, yeah, I remember it now. Good review for the M40 I remember reading it back then, and will sure re-read it again now, soon's I get the last of the grandkids to bed.

I'll have to pop that question first thing Monday Morning since I'll be on the phone with them anyway, good point.

are there any good retail stores in toronto that i could go to and get a good price for the m40's? like the same price as the FO? i don't really feel like waiting 3 weeks

There is at least one dealer out out in the west end of Toronto -- don't remember the name but will try to find it. I haven't been out there (heck, I probably own as many different Axiom products as the dealer ) so don't know how much room they have on prices.
