Just to confirm what Mr. Anonymous has said:

He feels that the B&W 602's are not for him...I however love the sound of the 602's. I am currently in the process of auditioning speakers within my price range, and to date the 602's rule....havnt auditioned Axioms yet but plan to before purchasing anything based on all of the good things I keep hearing about Axiom.

This just shows that one persons ears greatly differ from anothers. What may sound great to Mr. X may sound horrible to Mr. Y. I agree, you must listen for yourself to determine what speakers are correct for you.
