Hanz, there's no lack of "warmth" in Axioms if the program material being played has it; likewise if the program material is sibilant it'll be heard. Disregard what you read about "shrill" Axiom speakers or "cold" amplifiers; it's nonsense. Someone who wants a less accurate tonal balance should consider speakers which provide that if they can't get satisfactory results from their tone control adjustments on particular material.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
