Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater My new bad a$$ speakers (kidding)

Interesting speakers alright! The driver compliment looks like reasonably good quality DIY stuff. The woofers, Peerless CC 12"(I believe) are well respected in the DIY community. In a sealed box they have a 3db down of 38.6hz @ .707, but they need 4.7 cu ft EACH to accomplish it!

Maybe that's why those speakers are so large!!

I have a Peerless 10" from the CSX line in my sub, and it works just great!
Rich.

A few thoughts:

1. The guy who sells them tweeters must be happy.
2. The guy who sells them wood must be even happier.
3. I was strangely compelled to place the FM-6's into my shopping cart, but that "two-six-pack" model's face stopped me. Cold.

Damn Craig. Your easy.
Tequilla anyone?

At $20k, it was two six packs ... at $5K it would have taken about a bottle of Cuervo to get past her. That was mean on my part. Really mean. But SHEESH ! Those PICTURES !

We have a couple of professional photographers here, and I'd bet they were thinking the same thing. Shoot! I'm not even a pro, and I thought they were terrible photos.

And while you're comment may have been cruel and unkind (you meany), it WAS accurate.

You know ... This DOES make you wonder what Axiom could do with a $20,000 speaker.

So how do they work. Are the "tweeter" tops, which look tripolar to me, mounted separately and to the sides like that all the time. It seems like somethign better suited to a stadium than a living room - like it's main purpose is to blow women's clothes off (hopefully not the model's) rather than provide good imaging, etc.

Also, nothing like taking a 20K speaker, shoving it into a corner and up against a wall. That's gotta make those woofers really tight.

Didn't you read the fine print? Here, I'll quote it for you:

"Speakers sound as good as she looks."

The poster needs to take a photo/marketing lesson from this website:

Bottlehead

I'm not one to scoff at the female figure, but those pics annoy me, for some reason. Very out of place.
