Recommended Subwoofer:
Axiom's smallest bookshelf speaker, the affordable M2, is distinguished by unusually musical and natural sound. Winner of the SoundStage! Reviewer's Choice Award, the M2 delivers smooth convincing bass, highly detailed treble, and extremely realistic-sounding male and female vocals that put the performance right in your room. The M2 features a 5.25-inch aluminum-cone woofer - unheard of in this price category - and crystal clear 1-inch titanium dome tweeter. You'll be amazed at the articulation of guitar strings and delicate overtones that are reproduced by these little dynamos.
"I was stunned the first time I played the M2 ... Axiom has scored big-time. An inexpensive, micro-sized super-achiever."
-- Doug Schneider, SoundStage.com
This diminutive 11.5-inch-tall speaker delivers a high-end three-dimensional soundstage in an elegant, small cabinet. Pair the M2's with a subwoofer for an unbeatable combination in small to medium rooms, dens and dorms!
"The M2 and EP125 make a superb combination in a small room system... the M2 is a legend in the making."
-- Kevin Hunt, GoodSound.com
Customers and reviewers alike are thrilled with the performance of this speaker - at last you don't need to compromise quality to get audiophile sound in a small package. How do we do it? 25 years of audio research have gone into making a speaker that is compact yet capable of impressive stereo reproduction, as well as anchoring a home theater system.
" . . .a refreshingly clean, smooth sound"
-- Suave Kajko, CanadaHiFi
These eye-catching speakers are 8 ohms and therefore easy to power with any amplifier, whether solid-state or tube. The asymmetrical anti-standing-wave tapered shape of the cabinet is highly resistant to resonances that can degrade sound quality in other speakers.
You don't have to take our word for it - audition these speakers in your own home. The M2s come with a 30-day in-home trial, a five-year warranty and free shipping.

-- Doug Schneider, SoundStage.com
"far and away my favorite speaker selling for under $300.00"
-- Don Lindich, Q & A
"Character voices, music and sound effects sounded very crisp through the M2s. The M2s delivered exceptional imaging, clean vocals and a very detailed sound across the front soundstage."
-- Suave Kajko, CanadaHiFi
"The M2 and EP125 make a superb combination in a small room system... the M2 is a legend in the making."
-- Kevin Hunt, GoodSound.com |
"The M2's are a great match with the new high grade soundcards hitting the marketplace and provide an excellent upgrade for existing audio systems using lower grade PC speakers."
-- Steven Wall, Guru3D.com
"If it's not already, the M2v2 should be considered a classic... Axiom has knocked this one clear out of the park... they get my highest recommendation."
-- Clarke Robinson, EnjoyTheMusic.com
"I used them not only in the 5.1 configuration but also for listening to stereo music and, while they didn't make me want to throw away my reference Definitive Technology towers, the fact that they're only about 20 per cent of the DefTechs' price makes them quite remarkable."
-- Jim Bray, Technofile.com |

Customer Comments Customer Comments about the M2 FamilyBelow are just a few of the many reviews that our customers have been kind enough to send us.
Our speakers sound great!! Teamed with our subwoofer-sound is awesome!!! We will definitely buy again from Axiom!!
-- Raymond L., MN
We received our Axiom speakers and we are in LOVE with them! It is hard to believe such a fantastic, beatifully balanced wall of sound is coming from those two small speakers! If you close your eyes it is very easy to imagine that the vocalist and musicians are in the room with you. We are rediscovering our CD collection, anxious to see how each one sounds with the new speakers....fantastic! I will definitely be recommending these to anyone and everyone. Thanks for such a great product!!
-- Arleen Z., PA
Great product! Nothing close to it at twice the price.
--Alan D., CA
I received the M2i speakers today. My little system--Cambridge a300 amp-8inch Ar sub-M2i! I listened to Carmina Burana (Telarc) and it sounded wonderful. The old speakers, Boston Acoustics HD10, are much too laid back. I am very pleased, thank you.

Finally, I have "highs" that are crisp and clear without any annoying harshness.

Million thanks and bows to designer of m2i's!
