I’m wondering how you got from Sony to Axiom? There are many many many more speakers that would compete better with the Axioms solely on reputation alone.
Personally I would like to encourage you to audition/ hear more speakers even if they aren’t Axiom. I agree with going with who does what well. You don’t buy a chainsaw from Betty Crocker, you buy from Husqvarna, Stihl, Echo etc.
Analogies aside, there are so many more speakers out there at that price point besides the Sony’s you mention or the Axioms even. Test em all out and see what you like.
But bottom line, the Axiom quality is great. Highly recommended. I bet a pair of m5Hp would blow the snot out of the Sony’s.
Ps. I agree those specs look funky on the Sony’s.
