Well, mine have actually developed channel imbalance but I think it's because I monkeyed around with them. I did the tape mod on both sides and also pulled off the grills and noticed one had a tiny plastic tube (assuming to direct sound) and the other didn't, so I got out some tweezers and removed it. At first it sounded fine but after a month or so has developed channel imbalance. Need to try removing tape. If that doesn't solve the problem, I need to reopen them and see what's going on. Might need to use microscope with lights at work to really see, though...

If I were thinking of buying them today, I'd be pretty tempted to go for DGS100 instead.

Can anyone compare these to the JVC FXT90? I have been looking at these but with something like the Astrotec's I seem to have a good fit with this style. They both seem to have a v-shape sound signature.  
 
Thanks for your help!

That's a great price for the AX35 --- you can probably get something better if you pay a little more, or get something slightly lesser for less, but it honestly all depends on whether or not you think the sound signature will jive with you. If you think it will, it'll absolutely be worth it. If your tastes err on the heavier side, you should probably avoid it. If you want a balanced, all-rounder, the AX35 is still great, with superlative build quality for the price. Don't get overly caught up in the never-ending new product treadmill.

Thanks how is the cable it looks really stiff, I do prefer a sound signature that is on the neutral side with a little bit more low end.

Worst $60 ever spent (AX30) .. it sounds terrible and does not sound musical at all, no bass (subjective) even though they say that it is the bass version compared to the AX35..


 


My 2yr old XBA3s blows this out of the water! I don';t think I can even give it away to my friends cause no one'd use it..
