I'm a bit surprised you found the 6.1's to be bright, as it's my understanding that they're generally regarded as being a bit laid back if not warm. Maybe it was the electronics?

One thing to consider on the Diva's is that the rosewood veneer does add to the cost of the speakers, so to some extent you're paying for something that you dislike if you're not happy with the apearance.

Also a more fair comparison based on price might be the M80ti's rather than the M60ti's.

I haven't had the opportunity to hear either speaker yet, but after researching on the web and reading lots of feedback I've decided that the Axiom speakers offer more bang for the buck. With free shipping and a money-back guarantee the most I'm out if I don't like them is return shipping. Shipping for the Divas is pretty expensive from what I've heard, so don't forget to factor that into the cost analysis.
