No doubt PSB is a great company but they are more expensive. I did listen to the Image 6T and was blown away with the bass but it lacked definition and mid-range. I think the Axioms will be a better speaker.

As I said, the NAD I chose was auditioned with many amps costing 3 times more and there was no difference or the NAD was better. Some as you say are better but way beyond my needs and budget.
JM Lab is good but they seem to be a much better classical speaker than they are an all arounder! Some music they don't like.
As I said, I have never heard the Axioms but the 30 day return policy is good enough for me to at least try them.
