It's my personal opinion that some people will find a speaker like Axiom to sound better than most, while other folks won't. I have several friends who think I'm crazy for paying what I did for my Axioms. In that they can't tell the difference over a HTIB. Now most people on these forums would just roll their eyes at that but the point is while we see the value in Axiom speakers, other people may not.

My only advise would be to go to a store and sample some of your music on some expensive speakers. I know people will point out that listening to speakers in your own home is best. All I'm suggesting is to do something easy and free to get a rough idea of if you feel "elite" speakers add anything over what you already have. If you notice any difference then I believe you would probably fall in line with most people around here and find the value in Axioms.
