T-shirt, sounds nice. We are in light coat weather in Alberta around 0-5C or 32-40'sF.
I have some M22's and have played metal (Van Halen, Aerosmith etc) at the volumes you speak of and find it sounds like a concert. Afterall isn't that what we are looking for? The high's are high and the lows are low(with a sub in my case)and with hard rock the highs can get pretty high. I have found guitars and pianos sound extremely life like, as if the performer was in the room. As it has been stated, one person's too high is another's detail. It really is a preference thing. I had my system up to 95db for 2 hrs and I thought it was great. Then my wife came home and reality set in. BTW, I run a Denon 1804 so the receiver should be no problem. Also the finish on the Axiom's really is better than most people say. My wife thought it was real veneer till she touched it and even then she wasn't sure as it has a kind of grain to it. Good luck on your choice.
