Yeah Mojo, tried to tame the sound but the Axioms would still reveal the poor recording (or my poor ears). I have read so many places where others have had a similar experience with Axiom and poor recordings. Have you been able to adjust your sound with tone control etc. to try and tame the accuracy and detail of the Axioms? (Of course the accuracy and detail is Axiom's strongest point so seems a bit counter-intuitive in a way?)
