Speakernewbie (what is your name? Tough to call someone by their nickname...)
The only encouragement I can give you is that Axiom puts together a great speaker, if you get the M60s, you will get a great quality loudspeaker, and the few dozen of us that post here regularly are very happy with our purchase, and there are some very critical ears among us. But we don't have your ears - there's a possibility you may not like them for whatever reason.
I don't envy your position, the choice for me was clear - try the M3s (with free shipping for me in North America) and send them back if I didn't like them, but I'm more than happy with my purchase and they even made a HT convert out of my fiancee.
