Axioms on the porch pictures
The Axiom Algonquin Outdoor speakers are identical to the well received M3's except for their cabinet material. The woofer is said to run free and clear on these puppies and rolls off gently as there is no crossover element on the woofer ( sorry, I can't help my full range speaker bias here ). The review of the original M3 by "Enjoy the Music" states that "the very good retrieval of detail is due to the absence of the crossover".

The Marcato sub on the house wall opposite the Axioms blends so seamlessly ( except for the fuller sound ) I hardly know it's there. Haven't tried the Algonquins with any of my other gear yet but hope to give feedback on how they match with my MW and T-amps. At 93 dbs they can be driven by any number of flea amps. I currently drive the system with a 35 year old garage sale Marantz 1150 integrated that never requires more than a quarter turn of the volume pot.

For those who haven't tried "free air" sound you may be surprised. Drag your speakers outside and see if you like the open sound. I've become addicted and am totally neglecting my inside systems even in this 100 + degree South Carolina summer.
