In my auditioning, my 2 favorites are the Energy C-1s and the B&W DM303 & 600 S3 series. I've also heard Polk's Rti15, 25, 28, and 38; NHT's SB2 and 1.5; Mission's M71, and Infinity IL10 (which I found overly bright). If you've heard any of the speakers I've mentioned here, can you give me a comparison to how they sound??? Such as are they warmer or brighter, more detailed or muddier, more forward or more laid back, etc. than any of the speakers above.

Basically I've read tons of great reviews on these speakers, but I hate buying speakers that I haven't heard yet especially after all the auditioning I've done. I know of Axiom's return policy, but I really don't want to go through having to pay $50 return shipping or something.
