I have not heard any of the new Klipsch models. Their tweetage is apparently different. The tractrix horn of the older models was really hard to take.
My buddy had entry-level klipsch floor-standers he bought new 7 years ago. He liked my Bose 601 series II better. He moved to KEFs and now he's at a whole different level of emotional satisfaction with the M100v4. He loves his QS10 as well.
One thing to consider is Axiom's loyalty programs. I could go on and tell you how much I enjoy my Axiom v4 but I'm not sure that would be much help in answering your question.
