Hello lomb. I'm also a bit surprised by the lack of bass your M60s are putting out. Have you double checked your cabling to assure you have not wired your M60s out-of-phase?

If you compared both the Axioms and Rockets in the same room, then room acoustics wouldn't be a variable, however, if you tested these speakers in different rooms, then this could be a factor.

BTW, could you describe the room your M60s are in?

Very nice review.
