Jason, you're absolutely right about the more open, spatial feel to the Axioms. That's what I was trying to get at when I said "airy". Your way is a better way to explain it.

I doubt very much I'll take the 80s out again as the corners damage very easily. But I would like to take a good, critical listen to the 100s some time. I really liked what I heard with that pop but then again they're almost $1000 more.
