Are the price differences really that great from Axiom to Monitor Silver Series? Look at these price quotes from 800stereo.com:
You have to add in shipping, of course, and the X-factor of dealing with an unknown online retailer (no minor considerations). But if you have a local dealer, you can clearly get well below the MSRP. It looks like in street price, the Monitors are just about $200 more than Axioms, comparing S6's to M60s and S8's to M80s -- certainly not double the price. (They are not even double at full MSRP, by the way, and of course at a dealership you should NEVER pay MSRP for nice speakers, unless you also like to pay sticker price for your car.)
