Dang! I go away for one day and look what happens \:\)

Don't wait long to try the Axioms (or whatever ID brand you want to test). You can keep the local reviews fresh this way and have a way to compare (sorta, just not in your room).

Now, who here thinks chocolate ice cream is way better than strawberry?

Okay, I was going to wait a couple more days until I had a chance to audition the MA RS6/8s as well but I thought I should chime in here. I auditioned some P'digms earlier today....Monitor 11s and Studio 100s through Denon AVR/Player. I took my own material with me which consisted of Pearl Jam, Live, and The Sundays. All music was played through one set of speakers in two channel then repeated again through the other pair. I played both sets of speakers at both a "comfortable" volume and, at least what I would consider an "elevated" volume (not extremely loud but reasonable). Both of these speakers revealed flaws in some of the recorded material, most notably playing Lightning Crashes by Live, one of their best songs....a lot of hiss at the beginning where the guitar plays solo along with Ed. This dissappeared as the music built up and overcame the sound. "Overcome" was particularily emotional to listen to on the 100s...it did the song justice as it's meant to be, very engaging. Pearl Jam's "Evenflow" was smooth and detailed and both the 100s and 11s had good bass, the highs were clear and sounded accurate. Now, I saved The Sundays for last, quite simply because I felt the recording really made the 100s shine. I don't know if it was simply a better recording or not, but Harriet Wheeler's voice accompanied by David Gavurins guitar was very, I'll say realistic, very engaging and emotional as if you were sitting in the room with them. "Wild Horses" left me a little speechless. The 11s are good, the 100s are very, very good as they should be $1000 vs $2500. The 11s would be kind of like the Porsche Boxster....easy to drive and relatively inexpensive compared to the 100s which are more like the 911...quite a bit pricier but ultimately more rewarding. The Studio 100s simply took the music to a higher level, more clarity and better imaging. Both pairs were in a theatre room set-up, through Denon electronics....speakers about 9-10 ft apart. Later this week, I will try to audition the Mon Aud's.
