Bill, I started with the 60's for a few years and loved every minute of them. However, the m80 posse on this forum kept telling me I've got to get 80's. Am I glad I did, yes, do i miss my 60's, yes.  For the small price difference, you may want to get the 80's, that way you won't ever get upgradeitis, it is a bad condition.

Bill, I too have debated M60 or M80 for my purchase. The M60s would have fit my budget and my room better, but then I would always wonder how much better things would have sounded with the M80s, like the girlfriend you never married but always wonder about. I ordered the best I could so I would have no regrets later.

I had the 60s and even though I can afford the 80s I'll be buying the 60s again. It was the QS8s that drew me to Axiom, they are amazing speakers. 60s or 80s? either way you can't go wrong. Good luck and have fun with this.

And you can't argue with a gleaming green truck.
Or is it a tractor?
Actually, now it's starting to look like a gas pump with legs.

Damn it! Now that's all I can see. It's definitely a gas pump robot of some kind.

Heh heh, I was familiar with the brand, but only due to previous posts here. I always pictured his icon to be the truck version because of it's height.  However, I am now convinced it's Gasotron, the newest Transformer. Perhaps I shouldn't have bought my morning coffee at that artsy little coffee shop with the sweet smoke smell in it. Sorry for the thread derail.

Another thing to keep in mind Bill is that you aren't quit as committed when you buy into Axiom as you are other companies because of their 'trade-up' program. With other speaker companies if you buy a set of speakers and in 6 months you feel like you've out grown them, you either have to sell them yourself and then buy another pair of speakers (a considerable loss usually), or just own two sets of speakers (even worse money wise). But with Axiom if you go with the M60's and next year you have some tax money kickin around or something and you feel like you would like to go with bigger speakers, simply trade yours back in and get the M80's and Axiom will give you a much better return price on your M60's than you would be able to get on the free market.
This is one reason why I was originally not too worried about getting the EP600. I figured I could always move up to the EP800 sooner or later without any big expenses to consider. But finding out the EP800 was available through the factory outlet changed my mind real quick like. So if budget concerns limit you to the M60 for now I wouldn't worry too much about it. You may just find you've found an excellent speaker while saving $400 dollars at the same time!

Thanks to everyone in helping me come to a decision.
