Keep in mind that Axiom's design philosophy of striving for accuracy is based on a lot of research -- especially double blind listening tests -- that points to the conclusion that pretty much everyone finds accurate sound to be the most pleasing.
I can tell you that I preferred my brother-in-laws Jolida 302 tube amp with my Axiom M60s to my Denon 1804 solid state. I borrowed the tube amp for about three months. I rarely listen to music louder than about 85-90 decibels, so it is not a matter of pushing either amp to the point of clipping. The Jolida seemed to give the music more depth and fullness. I did not do any double blind tests so discredit my findings if you wish. Upon going back to the solid state amp, I found that preferred the tube sound. The only way that you will know whether you like the tube sound is to listen to one yourself.
