Re: It's really irrelevant where you get info!

"I have Metal Drivers and considerd the Axioms because they came as close as anything I know to what I like from opinions of those that have similar taste and experience with equiptment I have used."
Metal drivers vary wildly. I guaruntee the metal you have sounds different from focal, JBL, Vifa and other metals out there...which incidentally are not all over bright."

No,mine were designed by Bill Kieltyka of NEAR who was the first to successfully implement them ,now they are alot using metal. If there was anyone I would trust with the technology it would be him!

Mine are not close to being bright,but more neutral. Alot depends on what you get for sound using Metal Drivers as the system synergy is a main factor.As an example people that have used DH Labs have remarked about brightness using Metal Drivers. Another is Krells intergrated amp which for some reason has this trait when used with NEARs.Krell amps are another story as they do not give this trait.

As far as AR reviews.There are those who do not give 5tars and do read alot of them and look to hte reason why. There are also those that do not troll and those that give honest opinions based on years of listening with different equiptment.

It does help to read betweent the lines at AR I do know that.
Their BB's are the least informative or helpful of all the BB's I have read or been to BTW!
