I really wonder if Axiom is using us as Guinea pigs. My M5OW have less bright highs than the M5 bookshelves from a couple of years ago. The M5OW are also less bright than the M2OWv4 from a year ago. Now you're saying you like the brightness of the Ti.

I'm just curious is all. The M5OW sound wonderful. Of course it could be their plentiful bass and mids cause the highs to sound less brilliant relative to the thinner-sounding M2.
