Hmm. That's a very good point. I hadn't really considered that some of my music will sound better with a softer midrange. Or my TV, for that matter.

Well. Okay. For this moment, at least, these arguments have convinced me that the M3s are probably a better risk for me. I'll change it on the text file that will hold these ideas for the next few months (unless I can convince myself to go ahead and punchase a pair of the M3s now...)

I know that there aren't many shops that stock Axioms, but are there <i>any?</i> Specifically, I'm going to be in Manhattan next week for a couple of days - if I could arrange some sort of listen to actually compare these speakers, that would be great...
