It all depends on who you ask. Last Xmas I was actually considering swapping out my Axiom system for the PSB image series with the T55's up front. I auditioned the B25 bookshelves up against my M22s, and thought they were extremely laid back sounding, while I have read reviews of them which are stellar. I waited 2 months for them to be in stock, gave up on the idea, and upgraded to the M60s and I think I made the right choice. I used to read many speaker reviews looking for speaker nirvana, but I haven't done so since the M60s arrived at my house. If your looking for a somewhat laid back sound, the PSB T55s are a good choice, but I personally don't feel you would consider them once you have heard the Axioms. I haven't heard the Omni's, so I can't comment on them.
