I was seeking a pair of speakers for my den, and I have to admit that I am a novice in the field of picking out suitable speakers. My first response was to visit Circuit City and Best Brands to secure some knowledge and suggestions, and my experience convince me that their young sales people knew less than I did. Next, I visited the "high brow" stereo stores and I found their sales people were cold and indifferent.

Searching the Internet for some advice, I came across the Axiom website. I search all the audio magazine articles and consumer reviews, and became interested in the M40's. I spoke many times with the Axiom technical people and they were always informative and showed patience in responding to my many questions.

Taking the plunge, I ordered the M40's tower speakers which I had never even heard. I received the M40's five days after I ordered them, and all I can say is WOW! These speakers surpass all expectations that I had for them. They are a delight to listen to the clarity of the sound, and there is plenty of bass in the background. For those of you that might have any hesitation in purchasing speakers without even hearing them beforehand, you will not be disappointed in dealing with Axiom. Their speakers and their support is golden!

"As for the mighty M60s themselves, I'm thrilled with their performance thus far! They've replaced a pair of PSB Image 4Ts, which I still highly enjoy, however the M60s are surely a more competant pair of speakers for music, and I belive music is a taller order for a speaker than home-theatre use. I no longer use my EP-175 for music, as I always have with the PSB 4Ts. The M60s have plenty of authoritative bass on their own, mids are clear and present, and the highs are sweet without ever becoming fatiguing, sizzly, or generally obnoxious, as other tweeters of lower-priced speakers can be.

"I'm fully satisfied with my M60s, and don't expect to buy any more speakers for some time, but when the need arises, you can bet Axiom will the first brand I look to. Thanks again for your great products, ridiculous prices, and fabulous customer-service. Cheers!" DS., Toronto

"They play ALL types of music very well...and I couldn't be happier with the customer service!" Ben M., TX

"Seriously good speakers. Worth every penny."
Shaun M., Detroit

"The mid range sounds are beautifully and smoothly rendered. The low end sound remains clean with superb tight bass." Michael R., Winnipeg


"Thought I would drop you a line and let you know how impressed I am with these speakers. They're about 3 months old now and they're sounding better every day and they sound better the louder I play them! I got them up front with your M3ti on the B channel it's the best combination I've ever had and I've been through a lot of speakers.
Last night my buddy was over and we put on Van Halen First CD and opened a beer. We thought Eddie was playing in my front room the midrange on those speakers is so good. He thought I had a sub he couldn't believe it when I popped the grill off and showed him those two little 6.5 inch drivers. Those are great drivers! Needless to say he just payed twice as much for his speakers and was ready to throw them away after hearing mine. Thanks."

Your audio experience will change dramatically upon plugging your speakers in for the first time. The vocal soundstage is thrust forward more so than the rest of the musical experience –though some (present company included) will argue that a more “personal” presentation is developed. If you enjoy sitting down and listening to vocals, the M80’s will present a unique experience that is particular to Axiom and no one else bar none."

"I received my pair of Axiom Millennia M80 Ti loudspeakers several weeks ago and was immediately impressed by the physical construction of them. A solid almost seamless enclosure, I say enclosure because while anyone can build a speaker box, at Axiom, their unique "Anti Standing Wave" design truly sets them apart. They contained the most state of the art dual 6.5" and 5.25" pure aluminum drivers, dual 1" titanium tweeters and finished off with gold plated connection terminal posts for the best possible signal transfer. The fit and finish of these speakers makes other companies pale by comparison.

While still in awe of the physical aspects of these units, I proceeded to hook them up to my home theatre system. Once in place, (placement for these units is not at all difficult I found that 18" - 20" away from the wall worked very well) I found a few of my favorite movies and proceeded to give these speakers a run through the gambit over the next several days. As I watched and listened I was surprised (pleasantly) to find that I was hearing undertones and ambient sounds that were previously missed by my old loudspeakers. I was also surprised to discover that from the lowest to highest volumes I was unable to create any distortion or dead air hum. Axiom rates the M80Ti at 4 ohms, 400 Watts and 98 dB 1w/1m (in-room efficiency), I would think that these numbers are fairly accurate and I had no trouble driving them with the Rotel amps in my system. With these 400-watt beauties fully powered and set up, I pulled out my system test C.D. With bright, sharp and clean precision, the screaming guitar of Joe Satriani, the digital electronic grunge metal of White Zombie and some extreme sound effects came to existence within the walls of my living room. The M80Ti's sound is that of a balanced harmony. With all the highs, mids and bass complementing each other and working together to create a soundstage that is clean, crisp and clear. Not only do these loudspeakers sound great and look good, but also the R&D people at Axiom have seemingly mastered the dilemma of the phase shift as you move across the field of sound. (Move from left to right in front of the speaker system). The over all resolution and imaging of the M80Ti's is, in my opinion Unrivaled.

Having used and tested loudspeakers from many different companies Mission, Paradigm, PSB and Bose to name a few each of these companies has a loud speaker that will compare to the Axiom M80Ti. However if you do your research you will find as I have, (It only took me years) that for $1100.00 USD/ PAIR, the Axiom speaker Company has produced a top quality product for the audiophile, at a price that I can only call a great deal.

"Dear Axiom Audio,
Christmas came early to our house when the M80s arrived. I am rediscovering our entire CD collection, and finding how much I love listening to music on a clear powerful set of speakers. The kids are telling me to "Turn down that music". The entire house sings, I can even hear them clearly in the shower. Here's listening to you, "
Kevin Rahmer, Ontario


"It's like I'm hearing music for the first time."

"Just want to say thanks for an awesome product! I got my M2i today and I am greatly impressed. No matter what genre I listen to, there is no coloration! Highs are clear and detailed and the midrange is powerful and clean. I am only 16 and so my budget is very limited, therefore I was extremely skeptical about buying loudspeakers without hearing them over the internet. My fears melted away when I set up my M2is and put on a copy of "The Patriot." The Axioms blew away my old Kenwoods that were twice the size and the outstanding maple cabinet and aluminum woofers look great next to my TV. I can turn them up as loud as I want and there is hardly any distortion. I will be coming back for my center, rears, and possibly the sub. I had them broken in two hours after fedex dropped them off and I was at the door waiting for them. I can't believe the sound I got for 250 bucks! Thanks!" Mike P.

"Best speaker on the market today for all around performance. Adds great sound for all your audio needs movies or music. #1 in my books. "
Mike C., Peterborough, Ontario


"I purchased a pair of the Axiom Audio M2TI's and one of the VP50 center channel speakers and was immediately impressed. These under $300.00 (USD) speakers blow away the competition in the $300.00 to $500.00 price range. They have a realistic quality to them that others in this price category cannot compete with.

My CD collection runs the entire spectrum of music, from classical to rock & roll. While all sound great with the Axiom's, they really shine with jazz vocals. Legendary performers such as Ella Fitzgerald, Louie Armstrong and Shirley Horn appear to be live in my listening room with the Axioms.

I am so impressed with these speakers that I have decided to dump my B&W DM601's in favor of a pair of the M22TI's or the M40TI's. I have presently positioned the $430.00+ B&W's as my rear channel speakers. Incredibly they have been replaced as mains by my $240.00 dollar Axioms!

While these speakers excel with music, they are also outstanding with home theatre. Over the past few years I have listened to less and less music, and only watched movies about once per week. I now find myself wanting to watch movies or listen to music every night because of the great sound I'm hearing from the M2's and the VP50. The scary thing is, these speakers aren't even broken in yet! I anticpate even better sound once they are completely broken in.

I would recommend these speakers to anyone who wants a great loudspeaker at a great price. Axioms are not for people who like to waste gobs of money on their equipment, nor are they for people who choose name recognition over performance. Axiom Audio loudspeakers are for people who simply want to enjoy music and movies. Do yourself a favor and check them out."
Michael H., Fresno


"Excellent look and great sound."

"I bought a pair of M22tis about a year ago and have enjoyed them off and on in various systems. They are fine speakers and great value. But I've found a magic combo with your speakers and wanted to pass it along. I have the speakers on 24" stands (for some reason, much better sounding than what I'd think would be more appropriate 18" ones), with a modded Pioneer DVD running straight into a Sophia Baby amp--ten whopping watts--and this system makes music like almost no other I've had in my home. I confess to giving a good chunk of the credit to the Sophia amp, which is stunning regardless of cost (it lists for $800), but the Axiom speakers are its match, producing a detailed, big, and, most important, musical sound. I find myself listening to this system more than to my big one, which costs multiples of the smaller one." Mark Jacobs

"I'm one that researches everything and speakers were no different. With all the positive reviews I read, the price, the quality, and the 30 day money back guarantee...It was a no brainer! I took the chance and am now rediscovering my CD collection! Thanks Axiom!" David L, Jeannette, PA

"I was impressed that a smaller speaker can produce such a wide range of sound. Much to my suprise,these speakers feature plenty of tight bass,and balanced treble- which was pleasing to my ears.I was shocked that a small cabinet can produce such a deep sound,comparable to a pair of tower speakers. My living room was filled with the sound of clear, crisp music.

Thanks to your recommendation, I finally found a pair of speakers that are accurate souding and conducive for most types of music, especially Jazz. I guess in the speaker world," Size doesn't matter and big things come in small packages." James D., Florida

"The M22's are perhaps the best speaker Axiom has ever made. So neutral, so open, so detailed, so clear, it never backs down from the pressure of any recording, no matter how complex, loud, or soft. Match it well with good wire and good stands, and you have the best speakers for less than a couple thousand dollars, by far."
Ravi S, Quebec

"Excellent speakers, excellent price. I only purchased 2 pair of M22Tis for my home theatre, but with this price/performance it will not take me long to order the surrounds, sub, and a centre. Keep up the great work!"
Dion E, Nova Scotia


"I am more satisfied with these products than any other audio or video products that I have purchased in the last thirty years. Price/performance ratio is totally off the scale! The M22s create a wonderful seamless soundstage that makes the music seem as if the musicians are in my living room. Tremendous clarity and smoothness in the midrange and treble ranges-there is a sense of refinement in the sound that has had me listening to more music in the last two weeks since I got these beauties than I had in the last six months. Bass is also excellent for a speaker of this size. It was snap to integrate them with my two NHT 10" subwoofers." Jimmy L, Highland, In



"My fiance listened to them for a while and then went out of the way to tell her Mother about them. Now THERE is a rave review! These are truly great speakers."
William M, NY


"I purchased a set of the M3ti and one pair of the M22 i series speakers over the last few months. They are absolutely wonderful. The sound is clear, deep, and precise. Just beautiful music for the price. The reviews i read were on target-the best sound for the price paid. they are better than speakers costing many more dollars. The workmanship and overall quality are truly remarkable. I would give them a 5 point rating on a scale of 1-5, 5 being the best. The bass is very good-but for true bass lovers a Subwoofer would be helpful for the big, deep bangs. These two sets of bookshelf speakers are highly recommended. You can't go wrong. The 30 day try out period in your own home can"t be beat either. The staff is wonderful to deal with and respond quickly to your questions, concerns, etc. they are very friendly as well."
Shel Meyers, Baltimore, Md, USA


"Astonishing improvement over my old Boston A60's, I must admit with my low end electronics I wasn't expecting the M22TI's to sound as good as they do, the improvement in detail and clarity is like night and day. I took a chance with the Axioms after auditioning the usual suspects in the budget bookshelf category (Paradigm Monitor 3, B&W 601, etc...) and couldn't be happier."
Wayne B, NY


"Truly Amazing. I have never heard so much sound out of such little speakers. These speakers have the power to shake my house. I can't say it enough truly amazing!!!!! "
Gary W., Orangeville


"Amazing speakers! incredible clarity and transparency of sound. Unbelievable bass for driver size. Buy these speakers! "
Jeff Fanning, Kingston


"I use the M22Tis as rear surround speakers for my home theatre system. The tonal quality emanating from these small speakers are quite deep, warm and with a larger sound stage that usually reproduce by floor standing speakers. The high is crystal clear with a smooth transparent feel to it without being bright or harsh. Amazingly, these ] little puppies can crank out some very low but rich frequency, again very smooth. I listen to music more than ever before, jazz, standards, classical... And for vocals, they are unbelievably realistic for I can hear smoothness that the voices carry in all octaves. The sound is very enveloping and transparent that filled my sizable listening room, 22' x 20' with 12' high vaulted ceiling.

For HT, these little power houses reproduce true to live (special effect) sounds from flying helicopters, explosions, dinosaurs to crickets in the distance. Clarity and realism, the two main ingredients I look for in surround speakers and the M22Tis surpass beyond my expectation. These speaker are the best bang for the bucks, an outstanding value. "
Andy Le, California


"Just got the speakers and I've found I'm falling in love with my music all over again. Hearing things I haven't heard before. The sound is very clean without being austere, warm without being wooly. 5-1/4" woofers give amazing bass reproduction, even without a subwoofer, which I may decide to add eventually. But since I don't listen as much to rock/pop as I do to jazz and orchestral, these have plenty of oomph with no distortion. And they look great too. I can't wait to go home and put on another disc! "
Andy Stauffer, New York
 

 
"THIS is what surround sound is supposed to sound like!!" Frank W., Halifax

"Great Speakers, Quad-polar designs adds a whole new feeling to music and movies ."
Jeff Fanning, Kingston


"awesome sound"
Paul H., Niagara Falls
 

"Finally, I got my QS 8s hooked up as surrounds, M22s in front and my Paradigm Atoms in the rear with Paradigm sub connected to Denon 3802, Toshiba Cinema Series widescreen. Played the new Star Wars DVD and it was unbelievably terrific. Better than in the theatre. Thanks for your help. The axioms are terrific and the QS 8s as surrounds are awesome!" Bob P, OR

"These babies are unreal !! A Huge sound in a small package. Completely filled my room and rounded out my home theatre. I dare someone to find a speaker with the sound of the QS8's at twice the price. Thanks Axiom for the great service, price and incredible quality. As always a job well done. " Dan E., St. Paul

"The QS8 surrounds and VP150 add a stellar component to the imaging of the system. The quadpolar design of the QS8s makes setting up the surround listening area an absolute ease." Michael R., Winnipeg
 

"Want the moviegoer experience in your living room? This is it period. I have heard surrounds from Paradigm, B&W, Klipsh, Energy, etc. Though I will admit that speaker selection is arbitrary, I have never heard a surround that is as enveloping as the QS8. Additionally, many state that should you want to do DVD Audio you must buy/have direct radiating surrounds –not so. If anything, I have found that the QS8’s do a fantastic job of musical reproduction as well. I will be the first to admit that this took me back. Once again Axiom’s “Quadpolar” design has proven successful in more than one venue. I was simply blown away listening to the Tea Party Illuminations DVD as well as the DVD Audio disc of STP Core. Try it, you won’t want anything else.
Carl-John, PQ
 

 "When I took the VP 150 out of the box I had a smile on my face. Fit and finish on it are excellent. The sound from it is outstanding. Right from the box, the sound was clear, concise, and authoritative. I thought it sounded great then, now the sound is flat-out awesome--great speaker. Great stuff Axiom." Jimmy L, Highland, In.

"Clear and concise voice presentation that is not too bright nor too forward. Whether it is movie dialogue or vocals in music, the VP150 will match or exceed your expectations. Carl-John, PQ


"The VP150 is truly the best center channel I have heard that does not cost thousands of dollars. It tops Paradigm, PSB, Mirage, JMLab Chorus, Athena, and all those other companies out there. It's loud, it's clear, it's detailed, and it's very much worth the money. A true audiophile speaker at a true budget price."
Ravi S, Quebec
 

"Installed the Epic 60 system on Thursday night and....well, mere mortal words seem somehow inadequate to describe the results- excellent!!! I am quite pleased with the speakers with both music and DVD...perhaps this will shut up those naysayer friends of mine who say "What's an Axiom? never heard of them..."

Thanks for your quality product and attention to detail! "
Dr. Jeffrey Newman

"These speakers are the ultimate price/performance speakers I have seen.
The build quality is superb, and the sound is incredible at this price level.[ <$2000 for 6.1 system]" Edwin R., Florida

"The entire Axiom system i purchased is very nicely integrated. The M60s in front provide a stunningly clear sound although sometimes a touch bright (source and recording quality dependant). The mid range sounds are beautifully and smoothly rendered. The low end sound remains clean with superb tight bass. The QS8 surrounds and VP150 add a stellar component to the imaging of the system. The quadpolar design of the QS8s makes setting up the surround listening area an absolute ease.

The EP350 sub puts out plenty of low end vibration for our purposes and is easily tweakable to add bass boost at the preferred levels for either music or home theatre applications.

Overall the aesthetics of the speakers is second only to real, polished wood and the Factory Outlet deals are truly and honestly a superb bargain." Mike R., Winnepeg

"I heard a friend's m22s and they were amazing. I figured I would go for the epic 80 minus the subwoofer (I just built one not too long ago!) When I cranked up the center channel, I was amazed...the imaging was superb and the power and clarity were amazing. Cranked up the Qs8s and was amazed at the presence they gave to my track. I dont have them mounted properly yet, but that is not too far behind. I connected the M80s and was amazed at the sound and especially the bass, large bass was not necessary for me, I built a 1000watt 15" subwoofer in a huge box not too long ago. Overall, an awesome deal for awesome speakers...Thanks Axiom!" Zacharia S., TX
