Axioms are definitely not exorbitantly (definition: beyond reason) priced. They are very close to the bottom end of the scale (if not THE bottom) if you were to compare them against other similarly good speakers. Not in a piano black or rosewood finish..... They are in line, if not more expensive than comparable speakers, which USUALLY, come with the same quality of finish as the VS line.

I've been away for a bit, and really just skimmed this thread. But it sounds to me like people jumped all over Bob for his "fanboy..." comment. I took it as him wondering out loud more than an insult. I thought his post was not pejorative. He's obviously used to something and M80's aren't that.
I do agree with others in that speakers up to this point hid the fact that Bob's reference music has been flawed all this time and he just noticed it. It's possible. Perhaps you can go to HDTracks and download some samples? This way, Bob can judge on sound and not on "I'm used to this sound and it's the right sound"
Just a thought.

Oh, and what receiver do you use? Was it calibrated for your old speakers?

When it comes to trying to help a guy get the best sound out of his speakers, you guys sure are a helpful bunch of biased, lying, cheating, Axiom fanboys.
