Bronze Member Username: DanmanPost Number: 71 Registered: Apr-04 | Before I forget.........If you are one of those that expect fake sound and boosted bass, I would suggest that you look for something else such as JBL or (heaven forbid!) BOSE! Axioms only produce true sound. Those of us that have them, usually have a good sub that you don't hear, only feel as the AXIOMS will blend well if your system is set up properly. In other words, they offer high end sound without the high end price that outmatch many at 3 times the price. |

Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 1395 Registered: Dec-03 | The M22Ti, unfortunately will probably not supply enough bass for your taste, but then again so do most decent bookshelves. Try out this pair for $328... http://www.ascendacoustics.com/pages/products/speakers/cbm170/cbm170.html and save money for a nice HSU or SVS subwoofer...if you want good heavy bass this will rock. |
