Steve,

Welcome. Speaker preference is going to be different depending on who you talk to, you really need to try to listen to some Axioms if possible and make your own decision. There is an Audition thread in the "Hearing Things" section where people will let you have a listen in your area.

A friend of mine has Klipsch and I personally don't like the "horned" sound, to harsh for me. Just my 2 cents.
