If you couldn't place the guitars, either your ears-brain were messed up, or most likely, Axiom pooched that set-up. Or maybe the guitars really were recorded all over the stage. I am so sure, I'll take the one 'nad bet off the table and slap both wrinkly 'nads down.
Yeah, I'm biased towards my actives after listening to almost all the Axioms. And I'm biased towards the M2 and M5 over the M100. I like the M2 so much, I think it's all most people need with a sub.
As for the Mirages, e-mail Andrew and get his opinion. Wanna bet 'nads he'll tell you the same thing I did? Note however that some may prefer more fuzzy images but the vast majority wouldn't. It's interesting for example how I can enjoy the fuzzier images from the M3 and M50, and at times prefer them over the sharper images of the M2, M5, M100 and LFRs.
