Hey, those look like STREEM speakers!

I almost envy your confusion! Really!!
I enjoy the heck out of my speakers-but all I do now is listen!
The research however, was a Real Hoot!!
So take your time, think it out clearly, and above all, have fun!!!
And when you've finally made up your mind, buy your M50s from the FO!

Seriously-keep going, have fun, keep us involved and remember, were having fun right along with you!

Happy Hunting!!
Rich.

STREEM!!!!

i heard those were awesome.......NOT

speaking of NOT... has anyone gone to EBAY lately and looked under 'speakers'. there is page, after page, after page of what i am assuming is some super cheap crap. stuff called theater research, and digital research, and cadence.. ? what is that junk? do people really think they are getting a decent speaker when they pay $300 bucks for a 7.1 system?

there should be a law or something.. but then again, its hard to make laws to protect people from their own stupidity.

They must be getting out of the white van buissness and into direct marketing.

Having listened to both the Energy Connossieur speakers AND the M60ti and M22ti, I've got to say the Energy C-3 was pretty nice, but not nearly as clear as the M22ti.

The C-7 and C-9 don't come close to the M60ti though. I personally think the only decent sounding Energy Connossieur speaker is their C-3. (which I've seen at blow out prices recently...as low as $250/pair! - At that price they're certainly worth buying)

But if it's towers you're looking for I simply haven't heard anything as good or better than the M60, until I've gotten up into the range of the B&W 703 or some Thiel products...that's getting very pricey.

Part of their strategy may be, because of the popularity of the internet, to develop a serious appearing web site so that if a person runs across these speakers, a website that gives the impression that they are a legit speaker manufacturer will be instantly available to that perspective purchaser to help prompt the sale either from the van, or later, on-line simply because the product name is still fresh in the mind of the individual approached by the van.

Or not.

Yeah....this is the impression I am getting from here: dont bother with the M40ti and go directly to the M50ti or better yet M60ti....the only other one that comes close to sound in you guy's opinion would be the B&W 703s...which is at least 2x.

I wish I could hear the Swan's in person, although the price is still kind of high for the 5.2 ro 6.2..... they look better visually than the Axioms, but I dont know about the sound....

Ok then! Let's add even more to the fun!!

I'm gonna go out on a limb here. To help you choose-The M60s sound much like the 703s, and I'm going to guess that the M50 sound closer to the Swans.(IF the New Swans sound similar to the Old Swans)

To sum it up simplistically: While the differences between the two Axioms isn't quite Nite&Day, the M60s are somewhat more clear and analytical, while the M50s are more warm and "Pleasant"

This is what I've gathered by reading-not listening!!

Good Luck-Have Fun!
