Hi Argon, Yes, I think I'm about convinced to buy the Axioms now - just from what everyone has said on here. I checked the prices out on the Paradigm 60s and 100s today and they are literally $thousands more, for what now seems to be no better quality. Thanks for your advice.
I echo everyone's comments that the Studio 60's were very comparable to the M60s. As I recall, the Studios were wood veneer - so the finish was better than the standard 60s. If you want the better finish, you can go with the Vassallo's and still come out better than the Studios.
