Matthew, good tohear from you. I keep readine that Axiom speakers are very 'bright' to the point of causing fatigue after several minutes. Have youhad this experience? There is a thread that talks about using a resistor to take some of the top end out of the tweeter. I also wondered about the sub, I was thinking that they may not sound so bright with a beefier sub. Maybe an SVS or something instead of the Axiom sub. I suppose that the 80s have more bass by design so that may help the reported 'brightness' but how about the m22tis that your friend has. You said that they lack the deapth and volume of the 80s, which stands to reason, but is he using a sub or are you for that matter? Since 'brightness' is the only issue that is consistantly reported, I am wondering if this can be effectively dealt with. Thanks for the report.

Paul
