Hey James, are you really going to put these out on the market?

Hi Dave,

It looks that way - I am getting lots of interest.

WOW,

These speakers look nice.

I would Definitely be interested in a passive pair. I would love to hear them with my 28b's.

Where do i sign up.

James, how many binding posts on the passive. One for low, one for mid , one for high?

Hi - yes the Passive version would have 3 sets of inputs so you can tri-wire if you wish.

Hmm, those look like Visaton TIW 200XS bass drivers, one of the best 8inch subwoofers on the market ... what are the other drivers?

Hi - they are all custom drivers so not Vistron.

James, I have a couple of questions about the Model P I hope you can answer.

One of the thiings I like about the Axiom M80 is that it does not let any frequency range dominate.

It would appear that the Model P, like the M80 will have two tweeters and midrange drivers, but three, instead of two, woofers, each of which is larger than those used in the M80.

My questions are:

1. Does the Model P have a low end bias because of the larger and extra woofer?

2. If it doesn't have a low end bias, how is this achieved.

Many thanks.

Hi Dave,

Correction - I am back to calling it the Model T  :duh:  -  which will come in 3 versions 1. Passive, 2 Passive Signature and 3. Active.

1. No the extra woofer really helps with power handling and lower distortion and efficiency.  I want these to be capable of huge dynamics - like in real     life!!!

2. Bigger box therefore can go lower.

Thanks, James. I'm glad you've gone back to the Model T name. It has overtones of getting back to basics (like Ford's Model T), while giving you well deserved credit for the speaker's creation.

The Passive Signature needs explaining, I believe, to readers of this thread who may not have heard about it before.

The Passive Signature will have an external Passive Crossover so it will be easier to move to the Active later if the customer wishes.

Are these pictures of the Passive version? If so, for some reason I thought it would be ported front and back like the M80. Is it ported or closed box?

BTW, I think the black drivers look the best of what you've shown so far.

Another question, James.

Based on its testing of its speakers, Axiom finds that its speakers perform the same with or without spikes. I have found no difference in the sound of mine without spikes. Is this true as well for the Model T?

DaveNote, you are one astute listener when it comes the  M80v3's.

Thanks, but that may be a compliment I don't deserve. I do listen closely, but that is not enough. First, I have old ears, which simply can't hear what younger ones do. Second, I often have difficulty pinning down exactly what it is I am hearing. Finally, I don't have others in my household who can or will do a double check on the differences I think I hear. So all I can say is that I hear what I hear, which may or may not be valid to third parties.

Better and more experienced listeners than I have a high regard for the M80s. I agree with their assessment. I'm interested in the Model T because it has been described to me by one who knows both speakers well as sounding like the M80 on steroids.

The model T, when it is available, will tell the audio world how good Axiom drivers are.

Actually the drivers are only part of the equation. The drivers, crossover, cabinet etc all have to be considered if good power response is the goal. We take 64 measurents around the speaker both vertically and horizontally.

Hi Dave

Yes the speakers are ported at the top on the back.

  Are the new black drivers Axiom or did you go for another brand like Scanspeak? :) Will the Bryston dealers , (Vancouver) be handling these?
