That's what I did with the C-3's. I bought a pair of M22ti's and a pair of Energy C-3's and did my own in-home comparison. I truly expected to be sending the Axiom's back, but I was happily surprised. (the Axiom's were $100 less expensive!)

That's probably the best solution. Bring those C-7's home.

From what I've heard the M80's like a lot of space. How close to them do you sit when listening? How far apart are they from eachother?
