Well, the point on the value/quality axis where your comfortable is a matter of personal preference. For some folks a pair of Polk R25s on sale for $150 a pair would do nicely. How much better are Axioms? Is the difference in quality worth the price? You may answer one way, someone else may think that the price difference is not worth the sound difference. Same for JM Labs Utopias. There is a difference, PMB. You may think the difference in sound quality between M60s and Utopias are not worth the price difference. Someone else may be willing to pay the price.
