I listened to a few tower PSB's (no idea the models) at a local store with a dedicated h/t room and was underwhlemed to say the least. The room looked good, the speakers looked good, the price wasn't great and the sound made the final desicion. There was no wow factor, the speakers sounded laid back missing the high detail with a more pronounced mid presence. Not bad, just not the sound that I was looking for.
If anything, to me, they would be like the M3 but without the detail the M3 provides. I find the M3 a little laid back but it has a nice smooth sound and while the highs aren't as apparent as other Axioms I have or listened to, you still get very nice detail with them.
