So I think I'll relax, enjoy the music for awhile
I agree with this to the end of the 30-day period. If you order 80s, Axiom will send them to you with labels to return the 60s. The difference in money is well spent, IMHO. If you get them and don't like them, pay the small freight charge and send them back.
In a perfect world, I would have Axioms in every room. But that's not the case. My Axioms are in the great room on the first floor. When I am in the kitchen or study (both open to the great room), I like to have my music playing. When I am home alone I can crank the 80's and go from room to room and enjoy. It's too loud in the great room but fine elsewhere.
If you do this with your 60s and are satisfied, then they are keepers.
Now I also think the 80s sound better at low volume as well!
I made my start to separates by buying Outlaw monoblocks for the L/C/R. Some do not like them, but they work for me with my 3805. Did I have to get them or the 80s? No. It is just a move in the direction I want to go.
