I have found that bad recordings still sound bad. With my old Cerwin Vegas, I didn't know what was a bad recording because everything got muddled up anyway. Good recordings, sound great!! The accuracy and clarity of the Axioms is super.
As Denver stated, don't let the recordings dictate what you buy. Since I got my M60s 4 months ago, in addition to playing music all the time, I am also buying new CDs/DVDs that are recommended in the forums to really show off the Axioms. So far every recommendation has been on target.
Good Luck
