The M80s are not harsh. There are some people that prefer a much more subdued (reduced) treble and some people that just don't like Axiom.

There can also be issues with poor program material. With a speaker like the M80 you will hear everything on the recording. Not all material is well recorded.

I do believe that Alan described the high end on the V3 as a little smoother and the new graphs reflect this, but it is probably a subtle difference.
