Alright... Ready for this... I think the Axiom's I own are bright as well. That's what the tone adjustment on my receiver is for. Turned the treble back just a hair and now I'm as happy as can be. \:\)

I occasionally post on AVS and I'm a regular on HTF. I don't always recommend Axiom - it depends on budget and goals. But I can only recommend what I know - what I owned, own, or would like to own. That means Axiom!
