Darren, No intentional hi-jack here, I pondered the exact same thing for quite awhile. My nature is to similar, get the better item now, so I don't have to look back. It was actully Axiom that told me in compleste candor, that the 60s would have an almost identical sound, but would ultimatly not play quite as loud. By no means does this mean they can total whale in a room. I have a good sized room, 24x23, and they absolutley rock. With the right equipment, anything louder would have your next deceision wondering what the best ear specialist would be. LOL, I would lean to the 60s for your present, and even future needs. "If" the mansion H.T. room comes into play along down the road, there are worse things to ponder.
