I am seriously considering a set of axioms for my home theater centered around the m50's. I haven't been able to listen to any axiom speakers since there is no-one in my area doing demos, so I was just going to do the 30 day safety net.

I have heard many comments on various boards that axioms are bright and fatiguing. Personally, I do not prefer a warm, laid back speaker. For example, I did not enjoy the Monitor audio speakers I demoed in the store.

My prime contenders for axiom m50's are the Paradigm Monitor 7 and the PSB image T55 mains. On the brightness scale, are the axioms comparible, brighter or more laid back. All these speakers use a metal dome tweeter, which I have found that I prefer over a soft dome.

What is the opinion of actual axiom owners?
