The QS10s are excellent for background music. I have tried them in multi-channel stereo with all other channels off and was surprised to discover how well they sounded.

This brings up an interesting point. I have the M50s in my living room for casual listening. What I mean by that is I am listening while reading or writing or thinking or looking out the window making fun of the people outside. I find however that I am constantly drawn into the performance so casual listening becomes serious listening. And that's not good.

So yeah...I continue to be quite upset with Axiom for making speakers that are so involving. Last night for example, after howling at the full moon by the fire, I came in to do some reading with background music on and quickly found myself listening to the M50s. I don't have that problem with any other speakers.

So I'm thinking maybe I should ditch the involving performance the M50s create in my living room in favour of an Air N3 or maybe QS10s.
