MarkB,
I have had two auditions since I recieved my Axioms. In both situations, both auditionees (Is that a real word?
) purchased Axioms after hearing mine. I do not credit that to my being the suave and debonair host, but to the sound quality of the Axioms.
If you are able to find someone to audition their Axioms for you, take them up on it. I am sure that whomever would not mind "giving you the reins" and "letting you drive" so you can listen to them at the level you are used to...It does not cost you anything and may help you in your speaker quest.
Just my .02,
WhatFurrer
