How loud are you planning to play this stuff for your clients? If you're under 80 dB, you should be just fine. If you're going to blast them out of their seats, well, you've got more problems than just a live room! Ha ha, well the average customer will probably be presented with music well below even 80 db... however the seniors will probably appreciate being blown out of their seats!!! lol

Well, that was a painful thread to read. I don't know if I would reach the same conclusion as the testers did, but clearly the M80s are not the speaker for Bob. If you're talking about all the people who wrote off the M80's as an 'inferior' speaker, then I'm with you. Like I was saying that's the first time I've really seen a lot of people agreeing on Axiom's as 'bright'. There didn't seem to be a lot of love for Axiom on that sight, I don't know if this is indicitive of most other forums as well, or just on the Salk site. All I do know is it put a lot of doubt in my head. Now that I've had time to settle down I'm trying to be more subjective and realize that it's truely hard to find a speaker that EVERYONE can agree on. Personal tastes truely are the biggest factor, but that's just it, I don't even have enough experience to know what my personal tastes are right now. Sad, ain't it!

How far is Richmond from Indy? There are folks in Indy willing to audition.
I'm 70 miles from Indy, not a long haul at all! So if anyone in that area would be up for a demo, I'd happly come be your victim... er, guest!

Call Axiom and see if they will help you in getting an audition.
Indianapolis - M60s (frenche) Indianapolis - M22, EP175 (rperkins - randyperkins at randyperkins.com)
These two are in the audition thread.

Excellent idear... if it's warm enough I could ride my motorcycle up there through Brown County (excellent motorcycling roads there in Brown County), and maybe pick up some of their fine local wine!

You're obsessing over minutiae. will they fill the room with shrill and sharp treble that will make the experience more uncomfortable than accomodating? They're going to fill the room with whatever source you feed them. Axiom speakers don't degrade perfectly nice source material into "shrill". Get an audition. Or, get the M22's and audition them with a good sub. If you don't like the M22's, it won't cost very much to return them. If you do like them, Axiom will probably accommodate your upgrade gratis during the trial period. Dude.

I have to wonder if they did a double (or even single) blind on those tests, or if they just hooked it up, then detached, then hooked up. Audio memory is a transitory thing, and easily influenced by other factors. Such as going in loving Salks and being none too thrilled with Axioms... but maybe I'm wrong.

Ken you know that's what they did, therefore imo should be taken with a grain of salt.
