I had a chance to listen to the various Axiom speakers in an a/b switched environment. I do not think that the differences between the M60 and M80 would have been so noticable if the comparison had been done by switching cables.
When Mojo and I did our M22/M60/M80 comparo, the M80s and M60s were A/B switched through the Denon, a very slight delay, and the detail/tone of the 2 was easily noticeable when changed. We were both able to pick out which was playing. I suspect a golden eared person might be able to do the same even with cable swap, which is how Mojo and I did the Paradigm Monitor 11 to M80 comparison, again the differences were easily picked out, once you could identify a point of reference, such as the string reverb on the M80 and lack there of on the monitor 11. It just takes some very careful listening to pinpoint the differences, had the M80s not been there, I most likely would not have noticed that bit of detailed difference.
