I thought why even bother posting back here in the first place. I also thought others that are considering Axiom should hear another perspective. I may just make it a mission to continue to get under certain people's skin. It sure would help me in my motivation to spend any further time posting on this forum whether or not I decide to keep these speakers. Bob, I do not understand your anger at the posters on this forum? They share their enthusiasm as owners. The fact that the sound of the M80's grates on your sound preference does not make others liars or shills. Personalities differ widely obviously. If I were to receive my M60's etc (not ordered yet) and was very disappointed in their sound, I would be pissed too. But not at anyone but myself. I'd figure I'd taken a measured risk and was willing to accept the downside of having to pay return freight. I'd kick myself, like when I do not buy or sell a stock when I thought I should but didn't! That often cost much more than return freight, but it is all relative. Bob, bottom line.. try breeeeeeeeeeathing.... This too shall pass. If you believe that you can get past this disappointment, or you believe that you cannot... you are right. If choosing to be aggravated and pissed off works better for you, that's a way to go.

Dave, your presence here has been nothing short of delightful. Sitting on my desk, unfortunately full of water since I am at work, is an Arrogant Bastard glass emblazoned with "Fizzy yellow beer is for wussies". I only begrudgingly acknowledge, but do not condone, the existence of "light" beer. I just drank my last bottle of this the other day. Cheers!

Oh, don't worry about lite beer from Tom, Dave. Ok, I've heard of 'Near Beer'. Not sure if I like it. NO beer... that is a definite suck. LOL PS. I am new here. Has anyone ever seen this Tom person. ;o) Or is he the Ghost of 'Beermas' Past? I'm thinking he may be a fig in y'alls imagination.

If you believe that you can get past this disappointment, or you believe that you cannot... you are right. Zen-like words of wisdom. Attitude and perception are crucial, in so many ways.

Bob. If you don't like the M80s and loved the Studio 60s, start haggling with the dealer. The new Studio line is out so I am sure there is a deal to be had on 'old' stock, particularly with the economy the way it is.
I, like a number of others here am also a musician. though not a professional, I have played acoustic guitar for 30+ years. The acoustic work on Clapton's unplugged is outstanding on my M80s, even in my crappy room.

BoB,Before deciding to go the Axiom route, I spent some time calling all the Paradigm dealers w/in a 1.5 hour drive. I found for the v.4's a 25% discount was easy to get. I then went to my local Paradigm dealer ( a good guy I bought my used Servo15" sub from), and listened to Studio 20, 40, 60, 100's. All he was willing to sell for 25% off list. The dealers that are ordering are just getting the V.5's in.
