Welcome to the boards!
Hopefully the Axiom guru Alan will chime in.
Most Axiom owners will tell you that their speakers don't color the sound, just reproduce it faithfully.
The CSW T200s have 6 drivers as opposed to the 60's 4, so you will get more bass from the CSWs. Axiom's M80ti adds another tweeter and another midrange and give you more bass and more volume without coloring the sound. I've owned 60s and traded up to 80s.
When you said, "The Axioms stand out because of how unobtrusive the bass is, and almost how plain (in a good way) the music sounds.", you said everything an Axiom owner loves to hear. I listen to CDs with the mains only. For HT my EP500 shakes the house.
In the end, it's not what others think. It's what YOU hear!
