Is there anyone out there that listens to ROCK. So many posts about what music people audition speakers on or post about what they listen to is jazz, which is good, or vocals or classical. I'm wodering if anyone listens to Rush, Primus, Metallica or Floyd or any other hard rock or alternative music and how well the axiom speakers handle these particular groups.

Randolph welcome, I think you will find alot of rock fans on this board, especially Floyd fans. The Axioms handle all types of music great.

Speaking of Floyd, We have had to wait over ten years for a new true Roger Waters CD. Amused to death was an all time top ten in my list. Think he can out do that one when he comes out with something new? Anyone listen to the new David Gilmore cd?

I picked up the new Gilmore cd out of pure curiousity, and have found that I LOVE it!

Welcome, Rapmon! My favorite genre is electronica, but a band that I listen to a lot is Porcupine Tree, who's music is along the lines of hard rock/progressive rock. If you haven't heard of them, I suggest checking them out.
Anyway, I personally think the Axiom's sound fantastic with this type of music, but everyone's taste is different. Axiom's are very forward and detailed speakers and give the impression that the musicians are right there in the room. It might be harsh on the ears to some people, but I really enjoy the upfront sound. If you've heard Klipsch speakers, sometimes considered "rock" speakers, the Axiom's will sound more balanced in my opinion. Klipsch speakers always sound harsh to me. That's my $.02 anyway.

Right here, dude... not really a Floyd or Primus fan (they're good, but I don't own any), but I do listen to 'Tallica, Megadeth, Tool, Opeth, Rush, all those other groups BrenR makes fun of, you know, that sort of thing. And it sounds GREAT on Axioms. Better with a good sub, of course.

Rush, Metallica, and Floyd are in my collection. Since I am wife and childless for the next few days, I may get a chance to listen to some at proper levels, too.
