Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo Diff. between M60Ti and M80Ti

Vivek,

There are small but significant differences in sound between the M60 and M80. Both have excellent bass extension and output, and have fantastic clarity in the midrange and treble. However, the M80 is audibly cleaner throughout the frequency range...detail and transparency are up there with true "audiophile" speakers that cost thousands of dollars a pair. I was absolutely mesmerized listening to the M80s, and would have bought a pair in a flash if I didn't have a nursery to furnish (I ultimately went with the M40s). Ian wasn't lying when he described it as the best speaker he's designed.

In reality, until you hear them side by side, you will not know what you're missing if you go with the M60s. There is a huge difference going to the smaller towers because of the absent midrange driver, though.
