Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Axiom M80 vs Klipsch RF-82

As you stated in your post, the Klipsch has a VERY different sound than most speakers because of the horn tweeter. For me, it's way too harsh a sound, and I do tire of it after about 30 mins of listening.

The M80s will sound very different than the Klipschs. If you like the Klipsch sound, you will not get it with the Axioms. Having heard both, I prefer the Axiom sound. In addition to having clearer (not brighter) highs, I feel the Axioms dominate most speakers in the mid-range frequencies.

Since you live in Canada, the return shipping to Axiom should be cheaper if you audition them and don't like them. There's a thread in the forum of people who will let you listen to their system. There must be someone in the Toronto area.
