Once you hear a set of Axioms all your questions will be answered. I have a Carver amp hooked up to my M 80's and i listen to all those bands mentiioned. STP's Core is especially awesome as well as all the other bands Audioslave's Cochise is phenomenal as well, i don't listen to Norah Jones but her and her piano must sound amazing, every type of music if its a pretty good recording is just glorious. Once you have heard a good rock cd or any cd for that matter you are blown away i was i am 18 and i just couldn't believe how clear and precise the sound coming from these beautifully finished speakers. Still blows me away and have had them for a year.
Cheers mate!
