Prices posted on the internet are way outrageous. I could get them for around $900/pair, thus the dilemma. How do the M60s perform with SACDs? Am not familiar with speakers or anything? or how to detect a good one from a bad one. People are saying that I have to listen to the speakers, but the disadvantage is that Axiom speakers are basically impossible to audition in Japan. Though, I could easily listen to the Sony...the discomfort I have is the absence of favorable reviews other than those coming from Sony enthusiasts.
