I am surprised to see the QS10 isn't a one-piece assembly. It looks like the top and bottom are separate pieces.
I now see the M5HP is of the same design.

For the QS10 those dividers are keeping the 6.5" air space separated from each of the top and bottom 5.25" air spaces.

These are going to sound AMAZING! I don't even need to hear them to know that.
1st order Butterworth for the lower x-over and 2nd order Linkwitz-Riley for the upper x-over?

1st order Butterworth for the lower x-over and 2nd order Linkwitz-Riley for the upper x-over? Maybe, but I'm losing confidence given the glaring absence of a freq/resp graph. I know my ear will be the primary determining factor and I'm still anxiously waiting for mine to come; but when I push Axiom on other forums I usually wind up pointing to their response graph. Being the first speaker without one at this late date is worrisome.

I hear ya Cork. We've pinged about the FR graph awhile back, and given these are now in production you'd think it would be posted.
Also 'shipping in March' has turned into at least April. Not bashing, but just expressing concern & waiting angst.
I've had nothing but great experience so far with Axiom and am inclined to believe this will continue with the M5HP's.

A frequency response graph really tells you nothing.
