What sonic differences, outside ot total ouput, did you find in the upper bass-midrange-treble in this comparison?

I was first introduced to Axiom via the M50 and really liked them. After more research I thought about M80's and finally decided on the M60 due to input from Axiom and the style/look of the M60 I liked the best.

I think the mid driver in the 60's really adds to the overall sound and adds that little extra. To me, the 50's seem a little warmer and the bass more pronounced as that mid driver is not there to "even" out the sound spectrum.

I recently picked up the M3's which remind me of the 50's and when I go back and forth between the M3's & M60's there is a noticeable difference in the higher tonal ranges. Each speaker sounds fantastic and depending on your preference, mood or music really determines which one you prefer.

If you want to be able to clearly hear subtleties in music and DVD's that you may normally miss, the M60/M80 would be for you. Not saying that the M3/M50 wouldn't pick these up, but the accuracy of the M60/M80 is stunning.

For an example, my Led Zepplin box set is okay on my M60's at lower volumes, on the M3's it sounds much better and the volume ends up getting raised.

I hope this helps...
