Guys ... just posted this on Home Theater Shack (edited for here to avoid redundancy):

All four speakers have now arrived - plus the original Klipsch LaScala II's. We now have in ascending order by price:

1. Axiom M50's
2. Martin Logan Electromotion ESL Hybrids
3. Axiom M100's .
4. Legacy Audio Signature SE's
5. Klipsch LaScala II's @ $7000 per pair

Our Martin Logans came from Audio Advisor, while the LaScala II's came from One Call. Thanks to both companies for superb service.

The Axiom M100's have spent the last 50 hours burning in, and we did some listening today. My daughter is studying music theater at the university level, with 2 years of opera training. She stopped by today and spent about an hour listening to various vocals and other tracks of unamplified music.

She was very impressed with the Axioms - for someone with her training to comment that the "performers sound like they are here singing" is quite the compliment for a speaker. The M100's are in that "high end" speaker arena in which one hears detail one usually misses with other speakers.

I am definitely looking forward to spending time with them - especially with a weather forecast of rain the next 2 nights.

The Legacy Signatures are standing by - and looking fantastic in the high gloss black pearl finish.
