Axiom states that the 60s sound very similar to the 80s but the 80s have just a little bit more bass extension and can go a bit louder. Many owners will tell you that that the 80s begin to have more clarity at lower volumes than the 60s. Many owners on this board will tell you that they are superbly better.
I can only repeat those commonly typed statements as I have 2 sets of 60s and have not heard 80s. As I always say, I can't imagine how my 60s could ever sound better than they do and I certainly have no need for louder as they play cleanly at levels only a deaf man could enjoy, but apparently, the 80s do present improvements according to our resident experts. Someday, I hope to find out for myself.
