I've been looking at Axiom with lust for a long time based on nothing more than a friend's recommendation and reading the fans in sites like this. However I do find their aesthetics rather average (not that important I know).
I was looking at the M60s but then got to thinking.. M22's + a HSU VTF2-MK3 is about the same price and would have better frequency response...
Opinions? I hear that smaller cabinets generally tend to better sound definition & clarity but have no bass, which can be covered by a sub...
also, other brand recommendations welcome.
